Cashew Noodle Stir-fry

Cashew Noodle Stir-fry

Ingredients:

1 package rice noodles, cooked per package instructions

1 cup of cashews or cashew pieces

3 large carrots

3 stalks of celery

1 bell pepper (any color)

one large onion

1 head of broccoli

2 cups of whole sweet peas

Cut all veggies into similar sized chunks and stir fry, starting with onion, carrots, and celery, and then adding the pepper, broccoli, and peas a bit later as they take less time to cook.

When all are firm-tender, add in rice noodles and cashews and toss with the following sauce.

Sauce:

1 Tbsp sugar

1 Tbsp ketchup (if you buy a kind with HFCS then bring the sugar down to 2 tea)

3 Tbsp fish sauce

1 Tbsp lime juice

2 tea rice vinegar

1 tea soy sauce

Mix together and toss with the stir fry. Salt to taste. (Ours didn't need any added.)

I think this dish could have a hundred variations... If you add meat, however, I suggest cooking it beforehand and adding it in with the cashews at the end of cooking.

Enjoy!
