VEGETABLE AND CASHEW STIR FRY



Vegetable and Cashew Stir Fry image

Edamame (green soybeans) are one of my favorite beans. The beans, along with the nuts, make this a pretty substantial dish with no need for tofu or meat. The veggies add lots of vitamin A & C. This is mildly flavored, suitable for a family. Add garlic and/or red pepper flakes and/or sesame oil for a stronger taste. Since BF is not fond of broccoli we substituted asparagus. Serve over white or brown rice. From a vegetarian "minute meals" cookbook.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup rice
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon peanut oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups red peppers, chopped
2 cups frozen edamame
2 cups broccoli florets or 2 cups asparagus, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup carrot, shredded
1 inch gingerroot, grated
1/2 cup cashews, roasted and unsalted
1 cup scallion, chopped

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, prepare rice according to package directions.
  • If the cashews are unroasted, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, sprinkle cashews on cookie sheet and toast for about 10-12 minutes or until they start to turn brown.
  • Meanwhile, rinse edamame under cold water and drain.
  • In a cup, stir together the broth, soy sauce and cornstarch.
  • Heat the oil in a large wok or deep skillet (preferable nonstick) over high heat. Add the red pepper, edamame, asparagus (broccoli), carrots and ginger and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, or until asparagus (broccoli florets) is crisp-tender.
  • Add the cashews and scallions and stir fry for 2 more minutes.
  • Stir the broth mixture to recombine and add to the vegetables. Bring to a boil, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, or until sauce is thickened and bubbly and the mixture is heated through. Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Prep Ingredients: Before cooking, wash and cut vegetables. This not only saves time but also ensures even cooking.
  • Use Good Oil: Opt for an oil with a high smoke point, like avocado or grapeseed oil, to prevent burning during stir-frying.
  • Cook in Batches: If cooking a large amount of vegetables, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure proper cooking.
  • Stir-Fry Quickly: Keep the heat high and stir vegetables continuously to prevent overcooking and maintain crispness.
  • Add Cashews: Include roasted or salted cashews towards the end of cooking to add a nutty flavor and crunchy texture to the dish.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or basil for an extra layer of flavor and aroma.
