Spicy Cashew Crunch Stir Fry

Ingredients

• Stir Fry Sauce
• 1/4 Cup soy sauce
• 2 TBSP chili garlic sauce or sambal
• 2 TBSP brown sugar
• 1 TSP grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 TSP toasted sesame oil
• 1 TBSP cornstarch

Stir Fry

• 2 TBSP vegetable oil
• 1 Crown broccoli (about 1 lb.)
• 2 Carrots
• 1 Red bell pepper
• 1 Yellow onion
• 1 Cup cashews
• 2 Green onions, sliced, for garnish (optional)
• 4 Cups cooked rice

Instructions

1. Prepare the sauce by combining the soy sauce, chili garlic sauce*, brown sugar, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Use a small holed cheese grater to grate about 1 tsp fresh ginger into the bowl. Stir to combine, then add the corn starch and stir until it is fully dissolved.
2. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Thinly slice the onion, red bell pepper, and carrots.
3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the hot skillet and tilt the skillet until the bottom is coated in oil. Add the vegetables to the skillet, then stir continuously as they cook. Cook the vegetables only until the broccoli turns bright green and the onions just begin to soften (3-5 minutes). You want the vegetables to retain some crunch in the center.
4. Finally, add the sauce and cashews to the skillet. Stir until everything is coated in sauce and heated through (1-2 minutes). Serve immediately over rice. Top with sliced green onions if desired.
