Instructions
Making Cashew Chicken at home is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Let it marinate for about 5-10 minutes.
2. Mix Sauces: In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
5. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add garlic, ginger, broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Add Chicken and Cashews: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with cashews. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables, stirring well to combine.
7. Thicken Sauce: Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is well coated.
8. Garnish: Add chopped green onions and give the dish one final stir.
9. Serve Hot: Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles.
