SLOW-COOKED CASHEW CHICKEN



Slow-Cooked Cashew Chicken image

I make this cashew chicken in my Fagor® Multi-Functional Cooker where it cooks in about 2 hours (mine runs hot), but you could also make it in a traditional slow cooker; just allow a longer cook time.

CASHEW CHICKEN



Cashew Chicken image

Cashew chicken dishes have long been a classic of American Chinese cuisine. But Andrew Chiou and Tim Ma, the co-owners of Lucky Danger in Washington, D.C., have noticed it fading from menus in the area. According to Mr. Chiou, the dish is all about textural contrast: the crisp, battered chicken that's been tossed in a thin, sweet-and-savory sauce; crisp-tender vegetables like celery, as well as softer straw mushrooms; and, of course, the satisfying crunch of cashews. Their version is similar to the famous, deep-fried cashew chicken dish popularized by the chef David Leong in Springfield, Mo., in the 1960s. Enjoy it alongside other dishes as part of a multicourse meal, or just with steamed rice.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups canola or peanut oil
1/2 yellow onion, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
1 small carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 celery stalk, cut into 1-inch dice
4 ounces (drained) canned whole water chestnuts or peeled jicama, cut into ½-inch dice
2 ounces (drained) canned whole straw mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced rehydrated garlic (or 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 cup whole roasted cashews
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch MSG (optional), such as Aji-No-Moto brand seasoning
Steamed rice (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, batter ingredients and 2 tablespoons water. Mix them by hand until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • In a separate medium bowl, sift together the breading ingredients.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, drop each battered piece into the breading and lightly toss it to coat. (Do not press the breading onto the chicken.) Shake the excess breading off, then place the breaded chicken onto a wire rack-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  • Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet to 325 degrees. Gently drop the chicken into the oil one piece at a time, spacing them out evenly. Let them fry, undisturbed, for 7 to 8 minutes, until the pieces are deeply golden brown, then remove them with a spider or slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain.
  • Turn off the heat and carefully pour out oil into a heatproof container or pot to discard once it cools. Carefully scrape out any specks from the wok or pan with a paper towel held by tongs. Do not rinse the wok.
  • Heat the wok over medium-high. Add the onion, carrot, celery, water chestnuts, mushrooms and garlic. Stir-fry until the garlic and celery become aromatic, about 2 minutes.
  • Push the vegetables to one side of the wok. Add the sugar to the center of the wok and don't stir it for several seconds, to encourage it to caramelize a little. Then add the soy sauce and oyster sauce, and stir until the sugar has dissolved into the liquids. Toss the vegetables into the sauce. Let the sauce come up to a full boil and stir occasionally for 2 minutes, allowing it to slightly reduce and thicken.
  • Stir in the fried chicken and cashews. Give the cornstarch-slurry a stir and add it to the sauce, stirring as it thickens. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the sesame oil and MSG (if using), and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with rice, if desired.

CASHEW CHICKEN



Cashew Chicken image

A comforting cashew chicken recipe with a pan sauce that makes for a grand sweet and sour combination.

Categories     main dish     poultry

Time 15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 c. low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp. rice vinegar
1 tbsp. packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. oyster sauce
1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
6 whole boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small cubes
Kosher salt, to taste
1 tbsp. chopped garlic
1 tbsp. chopped fresh ginger
1 whole green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 c. sherry or chicken broth
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. drained canned water chestnuts, coarsely chopped
1 c. unsalted cashews (be sure to use unsalted)
2 whole green onions, thinly sliced
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving (if desired)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat and add the chicken in a single layer. Sprinkle with a small amount of salt, then leave it alone for at least a couple of minutes to give the chicken a chance to brown. When the chicken has turned golden, stir it around so that it can brown on all sides. Throw in the garlic and ginger and stir to combine. Stir in the bell pepper and let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • While the pan is still hot, pour in the sherry. Stir it around, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen all the flavorful bits. Turn the heat to medium-low and pour in the sauce mixture, then mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup water to make a slurry and pour it in. Stir the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken, then add the water chestnuts and cashews and stir to coat everything with the sauce, adding a splash of water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Finally, sprinkle on the green onions. Serve with cooked rice or noodles.

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.

Provided by AZ Food Critic

Categories     Meat

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons rice wine
2 teaspoons fresh ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 garlic cloves (minced)
3 green onions (sliced 1 inch on a diagonal)
2 carrots (peeled, sliced on a diagonal)
1/2 cup broccoli (roughly chopped)
2 stalks celery (sliced 1 inch on a diagonal)
1/4 cup onion (sliced)
1/4 cup red bell pepper (chopped)
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts (drained and sliced)
1/2 cup roasted cashews
4 tablespoons oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Cube chicken into bite size pieces and place in a medium size mixing bowl.
  • Add the salt, rice cooking wine, ginger and cornstarch to the chicken cubes, using a fork to mix it in and adding the cornstarch last, mix again. Cover and marinate the chicken for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • Prepare the sauce ingredients while the chicken is marinating. In a small size mixing bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Finely mince the garlic. Wash and slice the green onions on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces, chop the broccoli, slice the celery, carrots, onions and drain the sliced water chestnuts.
  • Roast the cashews in a heavy skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan continuously so that the nuts do not burn. Roast for about 5 minutes, or until the cashews are lightly browned. Remove from the pan and let cool completely.
  • Heat the wok or large size skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. Stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds).

Add the sauce and the chicken. Heat everything through and then fold all together to completely coat with sauce. Serve the chicken and vegetables over prepared rice (Jasmine rice is the best) and the roasted cashews on top as a tasty garnish.
