Healthy Chinese Vegetable Stir-fry

Is your diet lacking vegetables or is your protein lacking a side-kick? This recipe is a great solution! As you may have noticed, I like recipes that are quick to make. A stirfry is an easy and healthy way to assemble a meal fast! This recipe takes a total of only 5 minutes to cook! It is also very versatile - you can change up the vegetables, you can add your favorite protein, or you can go meatless. Cashews are a great source of magesium and give this dish a nice added texture and flavor. In this recipe I use one of my favorite cooking tools - the wok. It gives you plenty of room to fit all your vegetables without them spilling out of the pan and it is super easy to clean too! This recipe is low-sodium, soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, AND delicious!
