Broccoli Cashew Stir-Fry
I’m a huge stir-fry lover, so I’m always on the lookout for healthier versions to satisfy my cravings. This easy to make 25 Min. Broccoli Cashew Stir-Fry will surely brighten up any weeknight meal.
A nourishing delectable dinner made with fresh warm flavors of garlic, ginger & tender crunchy cashews to bring delightful texture & flavor.
I did incorporate chicken into this recipe as we had leftovers to use up! But if you’re looking for a completely vegan meal – go ahead & eliminate the chicken for a plant-based dinner.
For the cashews we used raw/unsalted, but feel free to use a roasted or lightly salted version. This recipe is cashew heavy (which I adore!), but if you’d like to go lighter on the cashews feel free to add in some of your own creative variations such as:
- Mushrooms
- Zucchini
- Snow peas
- Carrots
- Bell peppers
- Tofu
- Green onions
