Ingredients
- 400g (16oz) of boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (cornflour)
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 45 raw cashews
- 1 red pepper, chopped into pieces
- 1 green pepper, chopped into pieces
- 2 spring onions, chopped
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce (I used Lee Kum Kee premium)
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- ⅓ cup (80ml) of water
- 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil
- ½ tablespoon of maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger
- cooking oil spray (I use avocado)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry, and add to a bowl with the cornstarch, rice vinegar and salt, mix to coat all the chicken and set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- When chicken has marinated for specified time, Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat slightly just so it bubbles gently. Add chicken and cook in water until it just turns white (1-2 minutes), then remove with a slotted spoon.
- Spray a large frying pan over a medium high heat with some cooking oil spray, add the raw cashews with a little pinch of salt and fry until lightly lightly golden/toasted. Remove and set aside.
- Add the sesame oil to the frying pan and once hot, add the chicken and onion and fry fo a couple of minutes until chicken is lightly browned.
- Add in the peppers, green onion, garlic and ginger and fry for a further couple of minutes.
- Add in the oyster sauce, soy sauce, water and maple syrup (or honey).
- Toss to cover on a medium heat until the sauce thickens and just coats the chicken and vegetables and then add back in the cashews. Stir to combine.
- Serve and enjoy!!
