Cashew Stir Fry with Broccoli and Pork

This content was last updated on February 25, 2020

Stir-frying is a quick and easy way to cook vegetables so that they retain their vibrant color and healthful nutrients. This recipe combines cancer-fighting broccoli, protein-rich pork and the nutty crunch of cashews. Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables contain glucosinolates, compounds that may help decrease inflammation and cancer risk. Serve over brown rice for a healthy boost of fiber.

This recipe sounds amazing. Thanks. I’m loving the challenge. Just a note: there’s a typo. I’m sure you mean pork chops, not pork chips. 🙂
