Ingredients for Chicken and Cashew Stir-Fry
1 bunch spring onions
450g skinless boneless chicken thighs
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 red pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoons dried hot red-pepper flakes
180ml reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornflour
1 teaspoon sugar
100g salted roasted whole cashews
How to make Chicken and Cashew Stir-Fry
Chop spring onions, separating white and green parts. Pat chicken dry, then cut into 3/4-inch pieces and toss with salt and pepper. Heat a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until a drop of water evaporates immediately. Add oil, swirling to coat, then stir-fry chicken until golden in places and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add pepper, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes, and spring onion whites to wok and stir-fry until peppers are just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
Stir together broth, soy sauce, cornflour, and sugar, then stir into vegetables in wok. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cashews, spring onion greens, and chicken along with any juices accumulated on plate.
