Broccoli Cashew Stir-Fry (serves2)
One of the few kitchen utensils Will brought to our marriage some 30 years ago was a red enameled wok. It had seen yeoman service in his bachelor days but very little since then. Now that we are eating whole foods and doing our best to cook them without added oil, the wok has moved onto the “frequent-use” shelf of the kitchen island (far left in the photo, next to the cutting boards.)
This recipe would work well with rice or with Asian noodles, but we found it perfectly adequate and filling on its own. A bowl of strawberries for dessert made it a lovely dinner. ~ Glyn
