Chicken Cashew: A Delicious and Nutty Stir-Fry Recipe

This chicken cashew stir-fry is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is stir-fried with a flavorful sauce and a generous amount of cashews, giving the dish a nutty and satisfying crunch. Serve it over rice or with some noodles for a complete meal.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup roasted cashews
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch. Add the chicken to the bowl and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
2. Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the onion and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until it starts to soften.
3. Add the garlic and ginger to the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the bell pepper and marinated chicken to the wok and stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Stir in the cashews and water and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
5. Stir in the chopped cilantro and serve the chicken cashew stir-fry hot over rice or with noodles.

Tips:

• For a spicier dish, you can add some chopped fresh chilies or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the stir-fry.
• You can also add some vegetables to the dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or snow peas. Just add them along with the bell pepper in step 4.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of cornstarch in the marinade or mix together an additional tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the stir-fry in step 4.
