Ingredients

Method

1. Glaze

2. 2 tbsp finely grated ginger

3. 2 tbsp minced garlic

4. 2 tbsp soy sauce

5. 2 tbsp rice-wine vinegar

6. 5 tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup

7. 2 cups liquid vegetable stock

8. 2 tbsp cornflour

9. ¼ tsp sesame oil (optional)

11. 1 brown onion, sliced

12. 1 cup raw cashews

13. 1 head broccoli, broken into florets

14. ½kg tofu, cut into 2cm x 2cm cubes

15. 1 cup baby spinach leaves

16. Salt & pepper, to taste

18. 2 cups cooked basmati brown rice, to serve

1. To make the glaze, mix all ingredients in a bowl ready to add to the stir-fry.

2. Heat a wok on a medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and stir-fry for 2 mins until the onion is translucent.

3. 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.

4. Serve with cooked brown rice.
