About this recipe

The combination of creamy peanut butter, savoury soy sauce and crunchy roasted cashew nuts creates an irresistible sauce that clings to every floret of broccoli and slice of carrot. Searching for quick Thermomix TM7 recipes that work as an all-in-one kitchen machine meal? This one delivers: the mixing bowl cooks fluffy jasmine rice while the Varoma steams mushrooms, carrots and broccoli above it, keeping the vegetables crisp-tender and full of colour. The garlic is chopped finely in seconds, releasing its aroma directly into the sauce base. Finished with salted cashews for texture, this peanut sauce recipe is perfect for meat-free Mondays, meal prep or a speedy family dinner. Every element is prepared in a single appliance, meaning less washing up and more time to enjoy the nutty, umami-rich flavours together.
Preparation tips
- Cut the carrots and broccoli into similar-sized pieces so they steam evenly in the Varoma above the jasmine rice; uneven chunks leave some vegetables crisp while others turn soft.
- For a thinner peanut butter sauce, add the water gradually while mixing and taste between additions, since soy sauce brands vary widely in saltiness and intensity.
- Toast the salted cashew nuts briefly in a dry pan before sprinkling over the finished stir-fry; this deepens their nuttiness and keeps them crunchy against the creamy sauce.
Recipe variations
- Make it gluten-free by swapping regular soy sauce for tamari or coconut aminos; the peanut butter sauce keeps its full savoury depth and the stir-fry stays completely plant-based.
- For a protein boost, add firm tofu cubes or edamame to the Varoma during the final steaming minutes, or substitute almond butter for a milder, equally creamy sauce in autumn.
