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.

1 cup rice

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 inch gingerroot, grated
1/2 cup cashews, roasted and unsalted
1 cup scallion, chopped

Steps:

Categories     Pork     Stir-Fry

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup uncooked long-grain rice
1/3 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup dry-roasted cashews, salted and coarsely copped
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup chicken broth
2 Tbsp. cornstarch, divided
3 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce, divided
2 Tbsp. honey
1 (1-pound)pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1/2 in. cubes
1 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
2 cups sliced mushrooms (about 4 oz.)
1 cup chopped onion
1 Tbsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, mince
2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 cup chopped red bell pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Stir in 1/3 c. chopped green onions, chopped dry-roasted cashews, and salt; set aside, and keep warm. 2. Combine 2/3 c. chicken broth, 1 Tbsp. cornstarch, 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl; set aside. 3. Combine pork, remaining 1 tbsp. cornstarch, and the remaining 1 Tbsp. soy sauce in a bowl, tossing well to coat. Heat 2 tsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; saute 4 mins., or until browned. Remove from pan. 4. Add remaining 1 tsp. oil to pan. Add mushrooms and 1 c. onion; saute 2 mins. Stir in ginger and garlic; saute 30 mins. Add peas and bell pepper to pan; saute 1 min. Stir in pork; saute 1 min. Add reserved broth mixture to pan. Bring to a boil; cook 1 min. or until thick, stirring constantly. Serve over cashew rice.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut the vegetables and cashew nuts into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking. You can also measure and set aside the sauce ingredients before you start cooking.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet: A well-seasoned wok or large skillet will help prevent the food from sticking and will also help to create a nice wok hei (breath of the wok) flavor.
  • Heat the wok or skillet over high heat: This will help to sear the vegetables and nuts and create a nice caramelized flavor.
  • Add the vegetables in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet, or the vegetables will steam instead of stir-fry. Add the vegetables in batches and stir-fry until they are tender-crisp.
  • Use a light touch when stirring: Don't stir the vegetables too vigorously, or they will break down. Use a spatula to gently toss and stir the vegetables.
  • Add the sauce towards the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the sauce from burning. Add the sauce and stir-fry until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Serve immediately: Vegetable stir-fries are best served immediately, while they are still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

This vegetable and cashew stir-fry is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The stir-fry is packed with colorful vegetables, crunchy cashew nuts, and a flavorful sauce. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and is also a good source of protein and fiber.
