🛒 Ingredients:

• 2 cups broccoli, cut into small florets

• ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 cups mushrooms, sliced

• ¼ tsp crushed red pepper (optional, for a little heat)

• 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated

• ¼ cup vegetable broth (or water)

• ¼ cup cashews (or water chestnuts for crunch)

• 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

👩🍳 Instructions:

1. In a large skillet over high heat, combine broccoli, red onion, garlic, mushrooms, red pepper flakes, ginger, and a splash of water or broth.

2. Stir frequently and sauté for about 5–7 minutes, until the broccoli softens and onions become translucent. Add more broth as needed to prevent sticking.

3. Stir in the cashews (or water chestnuts), rice wine vinegar, and soy sauce. Let everything simmer together for 2 more minutes so the flavors meld.

4. Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
