Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups brown rice, hot cooked (or white, whichever you prefer)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups water or 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 tablespoon gingerroot, minced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
1 dash white pepper
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1 lb fresh asparagus, woody and fibrous bits removed, tender part cut into 3" lengths (3 cups)
4 scallions, chopped
1 small sweet red pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup unsalted dry-roasted cashews or 1 cup slivered almonds
mandarin orange section (optional)
toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook or reheat brown rice according to package directions.
  • In small bowl, combine soy sauce and cornstarch. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients; set aside.

  • Add the asparagus, scallions, pepper, and garlic and stirfy until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  • Stir the sauce mixture again, then pour it over the vegetables and stir until it is thickened and bubbly.
  • Reduce heat; add cashews and stir.
  • Cover and cook 1 minute, until cashews are heated through.
  • Garnish with mandarin orange sections and/or toasted sesame seeds, and serve over cooked rice.

This stir-fry is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the asparagus and cashews, and they didn't even realize they were eating vegetables.

I'm not a fan of cashews, so I substituted peanuts in this recipe. It turned out great! The peanuts added a nice crunch, and the stir-fry was still very flavorful.

This stir-fry is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some asparagus that was starting to wilt, and this recipe was the perfect way to use it up. The stir-fry turned out great, and I will definitely be making it again.

This stir-fry was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce next time.
