CASHEW VEGGIE STIR FRY WITH CHICKEN OR TOFU
Crisp veggies. Crunchy cashews. And tofu for the vegans or chicken for the meat-eaters. All in a savory-sweet, slightly spicy sauce. This recipe cooks up in two pans at the same time, so the process can be a bit hectic. But it's well worth the effort!

Steps:
- Press your tofu. Set a layer of 5-6 paper towels on a plate. Add tofu and top with more paper towels. Place three or four more plates on top and let sit for 20-30 minutes. This will press the excess water out of the tofu. But watch your plates! You don't want them to topple and break (some use books to avoid this but I'm a plate girl myself).
- Cook the rice according to package directions. You'll want to start the rice first because it may take the longest to cook.
- Prep (IMPORTANT!) Cut all of your veggies ahead of time! This is key with stir fries, which cook superfast once you get them going. And it's especially important with this recipe because you'll have two pans going at once.
- Make the sauce. To a small bowl, add the tamari or soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili-garlic sauce, and ginger. Mix until combined. Set aside.
- Coat the tofu/chicken. Add the tofu to one gallon-size ziplock bag and the chicken to another. Add the 2 tablespoons corn starch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to each bag. Seal and gently shake each bag to coat all of the pieces of tofu/meat with cornstarch.
- Cook the tofu and chicken. You'll want to start the tofu about 3 minutes before you start the chicken because the tofu takes a bit longer to cook. Set a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan. When the oil is hot, add the tofu. Cook, stirring occasionally. After 3 minutes, set another large non-stick skillet on another burner over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook both the tofu and chicken, stirring/flipping occasionally, about 4-5 more minutes, until the tofu is browned and the chicken is just about cooked through. (I use a designated spoon for each one so there's no cross-contamination).
- Add the veggies. Divide the the broccoli, bell peppers, edamame, and garlic between the two pans. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are getting tender.
- Add the cashews, sauce, and scallions. Divide the cashews between the pans and cook, stirring occasionally, for another minute. Lower the heat to medium-low and divide the sauce between the two pans. Stir to combine, then let simmer for about 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly. Stir in the scallions, then remove from heat and ...
- Serve. Scoop rice onto individual plates, scoop stir fry over rice, and eat!
- Leftover instructions: Stir fry keeps for about 3 days. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Chop scallions, separating white and green parts. Pat chicken dry, then cut into 3/4-inch pieces and toss with salt and pepper. Heat a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until a drop of water evaporates immediately. Add oil, swirling to coat, then stir-fry chicken until golden in places and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add bell pepper, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes, and scallion whites to wok and stir-fry until peppers are just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Stir together broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar, then stir into vegetables in wok. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cashews, scallion greens, and chicken along with any juices accumulated on plate.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, lean protein, and flavorful sauces make all the difference in a stir-fry.
- Cut your vegetables and protein into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a large skillet or wok to cook your stir-fry. This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Heat your skillet or wok over high heat before adding the oil. This will help prevent the ingredients from sticking.
- Add the ingredients to the skillet or wok in stages. This will help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding and will ensure that they all cook evenly.
- Stir-fry the ingredients constantly. This will help prevent them from burning.
- Serve the stir-fry immediately over rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Cashew chicken with stir-fry vegetables is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its colorful vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
