Shrimps Cashew and Broccoli Stir Fry

Nothing beats the simplicity and flavours of Chinese stir fry dishes, its quick to prepare, and the vegetables are crunchy and vibrant and it definitely tastes good like this recipe. This dish did not take more than 15 minutes of my time, and I guess that’s the key element in Chinese restaurants as dishes like such are prepared really fast they cook only as you order so you enjoy freshly cooked meals.

This dish might not be as popular as Chicken Chow Mein, Yang Chow or Beef and Broccoli but trust me it taste good like the ones mentioned or even better. A simple stir fry of shrimps, broccoli and cashew best enjoyed with freshly cooked jasmine rice.

    The simplicity of this is what makes it so great. It relies on the flavors of the veggies and cashews as much as it does the sauce.
