Cashews are an awesome and nutritious ingredient to add to any stir-fry. In this recipe, we have combined cashews with tofu and broccoli and added a delicious sweet-savoury sauce.

Ingredients
Method
Glaze
2 tbsp finely grated ginger
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp rice-wine vinegar
5 tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup
2 cups liquid vegetable stock
2 tbsp cornflour
¼ tsp sesame oil (optional)
1 brown onion, sliced
1 cup raw cashews
1 head broccoli, broken into florets
½kg tofu, cut into 2cm x 2cm cubes
1 cup baby spinach leaves
Salt & pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked basmati brown rice, to serve
To make the glaze, mix all ingredients in a bowl ready to add to the stir-fry.
Heat a wok on a medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and stir-fry for 2 mins until the onion is translucent.
Add cashews, broccoli florets and tofu cubes and continue to stir-fry. Once the cashews have browned a little and the broccoli has cooked through, add the sauce ingredients and continue to stir-fry for 2-3 mins until the sauce has thickened. Add the spinach leaves, allow them to wilt with the heat and then serve. Season to taste.
Serve with cooked brown rice.
