Szechuan Broccoli & Mushroom Stir-Fry with Cashews & Buttery Ginger Rice

Chinese · Serves 2

Szechuan Broccoli & Mushroom Stir-Fry

with Cashews & Buttery Ginger Rice

Falling into a stir-fry rut with the same veggie + sauce combo each week? We’ve got you covered. This version stars mushrooms, broccoli, and onion, which are sautéed with garlic, then tossed with cashews and a spicy, savory-sweet Szechuan sauce. Everything simmers together until the sauce is thick and the veggies are tender; then, it’s all spooned over ginger-scented rice and served with lime wedges for bright tang. Dinner winner? We think so.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry all produce.

    Peel and mince or grate ginger. Quarter lime. Trim and quarter mushrooms. Halve, peel, and cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 servings) into a large dice. Cut broccoli florets into bite-size pieces if necessary. Peel and mince garlic.

  2. 2

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger; cook, stirring, 1 minute.

    Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

    Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

  3. 3

    While rice cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together half the cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water (all the cornstarch and 1⁄3 cup cold water for 4 servings) until smooth.

    Whisk in sweet soy glaze, half the Szechuan paste, juice from half the lime, and 1 tsp sugar (all the Szechuan paste, juice from whole lime, and 2 tsp sugar for 4).

  4. 4

    Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

    Add broccoli, a splash of water, salt, and pepper to pan; cover and steam for 3 minutes.

    Uncover and add a large drizzle of oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, 3-5 minutes more.

    Transfer to plate with mushrooms and onion.

  5. 5

    Add another drizzle of oil to pan. Add garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds.

    Pour in sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.

    Stir in veggies, cashews, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Stir in a splash more water if your sauce is too thick.

  6. 6

    Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and season with salt and pepper.

    Divide rice between plates and top with stir-fry. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
