Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup whole roasted, unsalted cashews
1/3 cup water chestnuts, chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, 1/4 cup of the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of the ginger. Set aside.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • In the same skillet, stir-fry the garlic, bell peppers and remaining 2 tablespoons ginger, keeping them crisp-tender. Deglaze the skillet with the sherry and scrape up any brown bits. Add the reserved soy mixture and cook until the mixture boils, about 1 minute. Whisk together the cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup soy in a small bowl, then stir the slurry into the skillet. Add the cashews and water chestnuts. Add 1/4 cup water to thin the sauce. Cook for another minute.
  • Serve garnished with the scallions and cilantro.

CASHEW CHICKEN



Cashew chicken image

Tender pieces of chicken breast are stir-fried with crunchy, sweet cashew nuts in this classic Chinese dish

Provided by Ken Hom

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

450g boneless, skinless chicken breasts , cut into large chunks
1 egg white
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp cornflour
300ml groundnut oil or water, plus 2 tsp groundnut oil
100g cashew nuts
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry Sherry
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 shredded spring onion , to garnish

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a bowl with the egg white, sesame oil, cornflour and 1 tsp salt, and mix well. Chill for 20 mins.
  • If you are using oil for velveting the chicken, heat a wok until very hot and then add the oil. When it is very hot, remove the wok from the heat and immediately add the chicken, stirring vigorously to prevent it sticking. After about 2 mins, when the chicken turns white, quickly drain it and all of the oil into a stainless steel colander set over a bowl. Discard the oil. If you are using water instead of oil, do exactly the same but bring the water to the boil in a saucepan before adding the chicken. It will take about 4 mins for the chicken to turn white in the water.
  • If you have used a wok, wipe it clean. Heat it until it is very hot, then add the 2 tsp of groundnut oil. Add the cashew nuts and stir-fry for 1 min. Add the rice wine or dry Sherry and soy sauce. Return the chicken to the wok and stir-fry for 2 mins. Scatter over the spring onions and serve immediately.
