Cooking Steps
- Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add ½ tbsp (1 tbs) oil, then rice and half the garlic puree. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 2-3 min.
- Add 1 ¼ cups (2 1/2 cups) water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, trim snow peas, then half crosswise.
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch thick
half-moons. - Thinly slice green onions.
- Whisk together soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, cornstarch, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) hoisin sauce and 3/4 cups (1 1/4 cups) water in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cashews to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then zucchini. Cook stirring often, until beginning to soften, 2 min.
- Add snow peas and remaining garlic puree. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 2-3 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat, then transfer veggies to another plate. Cover to keep warm.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add ½ tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Re-whisk hoisin-soy mixture, then add to pan with the beef.
- Bring to a boil and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 min.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in half the green onions.
