Preparation
1
Boil water and prep

  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • Meanwhile, cut any larger broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Thinly slice green onions.

2
Toast cashews

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. 
  • When hot, add cashews to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
  • Remove from heat. Transfer to a plate.

3
Blanch broccoli

  • To the boiling water, add broccoli. Cook for 1-3 min until bright green.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer broccoli to a plate. Set aside.
  • Bring water back up to a boil (to be used in step 5).

4
Cook protein shreds and onions

  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine broth concentrate, oyster sauce, honey-garlic sauce and 1/4 cup (1/3 cup) water. Set aside.
  • Reduce heat of the same pan (from step 2) to medium.
  • Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then protein shreds, onions and ginger-garlic puree. Cook for 6-8 min, tossing occasionally, until protein shreds are cooked through.** 
  • To the pan, add sauce mixture. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly. Season with pepper.

5
Cook noodles

  • To the boiling water, add noodles. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Strain and rinse noodles with warm water.
  • Return noodles to the pot and set aside. 

6
Finish and serve

  • To the pot with noodles, add broccoli and saucy protein shred mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Divide noodles between bowls. 
  • Sprinkle cashews and green onions over top.

7
Modularity step (under step 4)

If you've opted to get plant-based protein shreds, cook the same way as the recipe instructs you to cook beef, tossing occasionally for 6-8 min, until cooked through.** Disregard instructions to drain excess fat.
