Directions

  1. First, prepare the sauce: finely chop or grate the ginger, squeeze the garlic, and then mix with the other sauce ingredients. If it becomes too thick, add a little oil and water, but it should still be quite thick. Make a generous amount, as it should be enough for the entire wok. ≈ 8 min
  2. Cut the vegetables and tofu into small pieces that can be easily picked up with a baguette. Prepare everything before you start cooking.
  3. Heat some oil in a wok (or frying pan) over high heat. Add the vegetables one at a time, or in groups of similar sizes, cooking them until tender. Add the sauce towards the end of the cooking process.
  4. Don’t overcook the vegetables: they should remain crisp. Transfer them to a container to keep them warm, then proceed to the next batch. Add the cashews and serve. ≈ 2 min
