Before you start
Wok | Mixing Bowl
To start
- Pour the ground nut oil into a wok and warm it up (make sure it's nice and hot)
- Throw the cashews and the red onion into the wok and stir them round until the aromas of the onions have been released
- Add the mushrooms to the wok and cook them for 3-4 minutes so the cooking process is underway and they've begun to sweat
- Add the rest of the vegetables to the wok and stir them round so they start to cook
- Take a large mixing bowl and transfer the vegetables from the wok
Cooking the spices
- Pour the sesame oil into the wok, add the garlic and ginger and cook them until the aromas have been released and they're bubbling in the oil
- Add the brown sugar to the wok and stir it around until it’s caramelised
- Add the cornstarch, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar, stir them until the sauce has thickened slightly
- Add the Sriracha and stir it into the sauce
- Pour the vegetables into the wok and stir them round so they're well covered in the sauce, warmed through but still al dente
To serve
- Serve the sticky icky vegetables over basmati rice
- Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. BOSH!
