Cashew Chicken Stir Fry
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cut into strips
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 2/3 cup cashews
Instructions
1
Combine the cornstarch and chicken broth in a bowl, stirring until smooth. Add the soy sauce, ginger, and hot sauce to the mixture, setting it aside momentarily. Heat half of the oil in a large cooking vessel over extremely high heat. Introduce the chicken into the pan, stirring constantly until it loses its pink hue, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it aside for a brief interval.

Pour the remaining oil into the cooking vessel, then add the onion, green bell pepper, and water chestnuts. Cook and stir until the chestnuts are hot and the onion has softened, roughly 5 minutes longer. Re-mix the sauce to re-distribute the cornstarch, then pour it into the pan. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, adding the reserved chicken in the process. Stir until the sauce thickens and the chicken is hot, then serve with a sprinkle of cashews.
