Ingredients
- 1 cup cashews toasted
- 400 g tofu
- 1.5 tablespoon cornflour
- 100 g mushrooms
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 carrot large

Stir Fry Sauce
- 1 tablespoon five-spice powder

- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine or Mirin
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornflour mixed with 2 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Toast your cashews at 160Cº / 320Fº for 6 to 8 minutes. They need to be golden and crunchy but not too brown. Make sure to flip them halfway so they cook evenly.
- Prepare the stir fry sauce. First, combine cornflour with water until it's completely incorporated. Then add the rest of the sauce ingredients.
- Coat the tofu with cornflour and fry the tofu using a frying pan with a little bit of vegetable oil. Set aside.
- Chop the veggies and add a little bit of oil in a wok pan, stir fry the vegetables on medium to high heat. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the tofu and previously toasted cashews and combine with the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the sauce and mix with all the ingredients. Leave cooking for 2-3 minutes and turn off the heat.
