Instructions

Step 1

Using a strainer or colander, rinse the rice under cold, running water, then drain and transfer to a small saucepan. Season the rice with ⅛ tsp salt and add water; bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.

Step 2

Wash broccoli, bell pepper, and sugar snap peas.

Step 3

Once the liquid comes to a boil, stir the mixture, cover the saucepan, and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice until the liquid is fully absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Once done, remove the rice from the heat and let it stand, still covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Separate broccoli into bite-sized florets, cut stem into smaller pieces, and transfer to a large bowl. Seed, medium dice, and add bell pepper to bowl. Halve peas and add to bowl.

Step 5

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Peel and mince garlic. Peel and mince or grate ginger.

Step 7

In a small bowl, prepare sauce by whisking together soy sauce and cornstarch.

Step 8

Coat bottom of skillet with oil. Add garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper. Cook until fragrant, 15-30 seconds.

Step 9

Add all the vegetables from the bowl to skillet. Stir fry until tender-crisp, 4-5 minutes.

Step 10

Add sauce and cashews to skillet. Stir fry until vegetables and cashews are well coated with sauce, 1-2 minutes.
