Yields 2 servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted raw cashews
1 broccoli head, florets head only
1 small onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1 celery stalk, diced
1-2 Tbsp. vegetable broth
Cashew sauce:
1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. agave
1/4 cup saki, (optional)
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup filtered water
3 tsp. cornstarch
1/8 cup green onions
Directions
- In a skillet, add a little bit of vegetable broth and turn to medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Then add the broccoli, celery, and carrots, adding more vegetable broth as needed so it does not stick. Sauté for roughly 5 minutes longer and then add the garlic and ginger.
- Turn to high heat and deglaze with saki. Once alcohol has cooked off, add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, agave.
- Mix together cornstarch and water and pour into the pan. Allow sauce to thicken and remove from heat.
- Toss in cashews and green onions.
- Serve with white rice or noodles.
Chef’s tip: If you would like to use oil instead of vegetable broth, use 1 Tbsp. avocado oil or sesame oil.
