Ingredients Description
The cashew butter stir fry is a harmony of different ingredients. The heart of the dish is the cashew butter, renowned for its creamy texture and nutty flavor. The olive oil brings its own subtle flavor while also assisting in sautéing the vegetables. Onions and garlic form the aromatic base of the dish, releasing their distinct flavors upon sautéing.
Mushrooms provide a satisfyingly meaty texture, while the bright, fresh snap peas add a sweet crunch. The bedrock of the dish, rice noodles, is known for its versatility, absorbing all the flavors beautifully.
The stir-fry sauce is a masterpiece in itself. Spicy Sesame Oil lends a fiery kick, balanced perfectly by the salty umami of soy sauce and the zesty tang of lime juice. Coconut sugar and mirin add a hint of sweetness, with rice vinegar providing a pleasant sourness. Water is essential to achieve the desired consistency of the sauce.
Before we get into the instructions, here are some tips for stir fry: be sure to prep all your ingredients beforehand, as stir-frying is a quick process. Additionally, using a large enough pan will prevent overcrowding and ensure your ingredients cook evenly.
