Cashew Veggie Stir Fry is the perfect plant-based meal for meatless Monday. Loaded with veggies like bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini, and carrots. Diced fresh pineapple adds sweetness. Recipe at KathleensCravings.com

Ingredients

Pineapple Stir-Fry Sauce

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon crushed ginger

Stir-Fry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups dry rice
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 head broccoli (cut into florets)
  • 2 bell peppers (sliced thin into rounds)
  • 2 medium-large carrots (peeled into ribbons with a vegetable peeler)
  • 1 large zucchini (chopped)
  • 1 cup small diced pineapple
  • 5 green onions (sliced)
  • sesame seeds (to sprinkle on top)

Instructions

  1. First, start your rice cooking according to its package directions.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients until combined. Set aside.
  3. Heat a wok or the largest skillet you have over high heat with 1 tablespoon of the canola oil.
  4. Add the cashews and cook for 1-2 minutes until they are lightly toasted. Remove cashews onto a plate.
  5. To the wok, add another tablespoon of canola. Add the peppers and broccoli and stir fry until just tender and they have some brown bits. Remove and set on the plate.
  6. Add another tablespoon of canola oil and add the carrots, zucchini, and pineapple. Stir fry for about 3 minutes until the zucchini is just tender.
  7. Reduce heat to medium and add back in the peppers, broccoli, and the stir-fry sauce. Toss everything together and allow it to simmer for about 3 minutes so the sauce thickens and coats everything.
  8. Remove skillet from heat and serve. Place a heaping scoop of rice in a bowl, top with a good spoon or two of the veggies, sprinkle with some of the cashews, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds.
  9. Enjoy!

Notes

You can easily omit the cashews or swap in another nut
