Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
- 1 bunch spring onions, sliced
- 140g soya beans
- 2 heads pak choi, quartered
Protein
- 2 x 150g packs marinated tofu pieces
Sauces and Oils
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 ½ tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce (add extra to suit your own taste)
Nuts
- 25g roasted cashew nuts
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a non-stick wok over high heat to get the pan hot enough for stir-frying.
- Cook broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the wok and fry on high heat for about 5 minutes until just tender, adding a little water if the pan starts to dry out or the broccoli begins to catch, ensuring even cooking and maintaining a slight crunch.
- Add garlic and chilli: Stir in the sliced garlic cloves and finely sliced red chilli and fry for 1 minute to release their flavors without burning.
- Add remaining vegetables and tofu: Toss in the sliced spring onions, soya beans, quartered pak choi, and marinated tofu pieces. Stir-fry everything together for 2 to 3 minutes to combine flavors and heat through the tofu and vegetables evenly.
- Season and finish: Pour in 1 ½ tbsp hoisin sauce and 1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce (adjust soy sauce to taste). Stir well to coat all ingredients.
- Add cashew nuts: Finally, add the 25g roasted cashew nuts and stir briefly to warm them through, adding a crunchy texture to the dish.
Notes
- You can add extra soy sauce if you prefer a saltier flavor.
- For a nuttier taste, lightly toast the cashews before adding.
- This dish is excellent served over steamed rice or noodles.
- To make it spicier, keep the chilli seeds or add a few fresh slices.
