Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 1 unit Red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Cashews, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 cups White or jasmine rice, cooked
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and toss with the cornstarch in a medium bowl until evenly coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and broccoli florets to the pan. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil. Pour the sauce mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the cashews. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.
Serve the Fiery Cashew Chicken immediately over cooked white or jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced green onions for added freshness and flavor.
