About

This super quick stir-fry is the perfect solution for a busy weeknight. If you don’t own a wok, use a large, heavy frying pan, and make sure to heat the oil well before adding any ingredients. Use Thai basil, rather than Italian, if you can find it at the market.

Ingredients

walnut pieces, ½ cup (2 oz/60 g)
low-sodium soy sauce

Main course

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread walnuts on a baking sheet and toast until lightly browned and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour onto a plate to cool. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, and honey. Set aside.<
