Szechuan Broccoli & Mushroom Stir-Fry

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger; cook, stirring, 1 minute. • Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• While rice cooks, in a small bowl, whisk together half the cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water (all the cornstarch and 1⁄3 cup cold water for 4 servings) until smooth. • Whisk in sweet soy glaze, half the Szechuan paste, juice from half the lime, and 1 tsp sugar (all the Szechuan paste, juice from whole lime, and 2 tsp sugar for 4).

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, diced onion, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Add broccoli, a splash of water, salt, and pepper to pan; cover and steam for 3 minutes. • Uncover and add a large drizzle of oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, 3-5 minutes more. • Transfer to plate with mushrooms and onion.

• Add another drizzle of oil to pan. Add garlic; cook, stirring, 30 seconds. • Pour in sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. • Stir in veggies, cashews, and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Stir in a splash more water if your sauce is too thick.
