Steps:

• Cut off the florets of 1 bunch broccoli; peel and thinly slice the stems. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 4 smashed garlic cloves and 4 thin slices ginger and stir-fry until just golden, 1 minute. Add the broccoli, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 cup water. Stir-fry until crisp-tender, 4 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, a splash of white vinegar and some cashews.

Steps:

• Heat a little of the oil in a wok and toast the cashew nuts until they start to turn golden. Tip out of the pan, then add the rest of the oil. Stir-fry the broccoli for 2-3 mins until it has turned bright green (it will still be very firm).
• Add a splash of water to the pan, then cover with a lid and steam for about 4 mins or until the stems just give with a knife. Push to the side of the pan, then pour the oyster sauce into the other side. Bring to the boil, then stir into the broccoli. Toss in the cashews and serve.

Steps:

• Place the cashews in a blender along with a pinch sea salt. Pour the boiling water on top. Cover and let sit to allow the cashews to soften while you make the soup.
• Combine the broccoli, fennel, celery, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon sea salt and 3 cups water in a pot and cover loosely with a lid, leaving a small opening so steam can escape (this helps the soup keep its bright-green color). Bring to a boil over high, then steam vegetables over medium until they are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Purée the cashews and water until completely smooth and frothy (the cashew cream should be the consistency of very loose whipped cream). Add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if desired to thin the mixture. Spoon the cashew cream into a bowl.
• Working in batches if necessary, transfer the steamed vegetables and their cooking liquid to the blender and purée on high until completely smooth and frothy. Taste, and add more salt as needed. Divide the soup among bowls and top with cashew cream, celery leaves, dill, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm.

• Add the broccoli and 3 tbsp water and stir-fry for 3 mins until all the veg is tender. Pour in the tamari, lime juice and zest and coriander, stir well, then pour in the eggs and stir-fry very briefly to just set.
