- 3/4 – 1 pound fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 tablespoon butter (I have used avocado and olive oil but prefer butter)
- 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice or white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup salted cashews, chopped
Asian Broccoli with Cashews
This easy sauce turns basic broccoli into something special. For a little heat, add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes.

Instructions
- Place the broccoli in a large pot of boiling water, and blanch (cook) for 3 minutes or until the broccoli is tender but still crisp. Drain well, and return to the pot or a large bowl.
- While the broccoli is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Mix in the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar and garlic. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. (For a quick option, you can heat the mixture in the microwave until the brown sugar has dissolved.)
- Drizzle the sauce over the cooked and drained broccoli, and toss to evenly coat. Sprinkle with the cashews, and serve immediately.
