Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the bell peppers and onion. Mince the garlic and ginger.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cashews

    If using raw cashew nuts, roast them in a dry pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until golden brown.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and stir-fry until they are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add the diced bell peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 6

    Make the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar, and water. Stir until the cornstarch is dissolved.

  4. 7

    Combine and Finish

    Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables in the skillet. Add the roasted cashews. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
