Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare all vegetables: break cauliflower into medium florets, slice broccoli into 3-inch shreds, snap green beans, and slice zucchini diagonally.
  2. Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets to the hot wok and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the oil coats most of the pieces.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of water, cover the wok, and cook for 4 minutes, lifting the lid 2 or 3 times to stir.
  5. Add the green beans, stir to combine, cover, and cook for another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the broccoli, zucchini, and salt to the wok. Stir everything together to mix evenly.
  7. Cover the wok and cook for 7 1/2 minutes, lifting the lid periodically to stir and ensure even cooking.
  8. Once all vegetables are tender-crisp, transfer the mixture to a serving platter.
  9. Sprinkle with cashews if desired and serve immediately.
