Thai Stir Fried Vegetables with Sauce

Method

1. To make the sauce, heat a non-stick pan, add garlic, red chillies, vegetable stock, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and chilli sauce and mix. Boil for 5 minutes on medium heat.
2. Mix 2 tsps cornflour in 4 tbsps water in a small bowl and add the mixture to the sauce. When the sauce thickens, remove from heat and set aside to cool. If you want to use fish sauce, add it now and mix well.
3. Heat oil in another non-stick pan, add galangal and saute on high heat for 1 minute. Add spring onions, carrot, red capsicum and broccoli, mix and saute.

6. Add sauce to the vegetables and mix well. Add cashewnuts and mix. Add basil leaves and mix well.
