Chicken and Cashew Stir Fry Recipe
Directions
  • Prepare the rice before starting to stir-fry so it is ready once the stir-fry is finished.
  • Sauce: Combine all sauce ingredients and mix until cornstarch is dissolved. Set sauce aside.
  • Combine chicken, egg white, soy sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl and stir until mixed thoroughly.
  • Prepare & premeasure all ingredients before starting to cook. Have them all within reach.
  • Heat oil using medium high heat. When oil is properly heated, add chicken mixture. Cook, stirring continually, until chicken is no longer pink.
  • Remove chicken from wok or skillet. Drain the remaining oil except for two tablespoons.
  • Add ginger and garlic and cook for approximately one minute, continuing to use medium high heat.
  • Increase heat to high and add carrots and peppers, stir-frying for two minutes.
  • Stir the sauce that has been set aside and add to the carrots and peppers. Stir continually until the sauce comes to a boil.
  • Add the chicken and remaining ingredients. Cook just until heated all the way through. Serve immediately with rice.
