User:AlbertCahalan/Cashew Chicken

Cashew chicken is similar to a stir-fry, but with a somewhat thick sauce. In this dish, the cashews become soft, and the dish goes well served over rice.

Ingredients

  • Chicken
  • Powdered ginger
  • Vegetables
  • Soy sauce
  • Oil for frying
  • Whole roasted cashews, salted or not
  • Chicken broth
  • Cornstarch

Instructions

  1. 1
    Begin boiling the cashews in a covered pot. Be sure to add water from time to time so that the cashews are kept wet.
  2. 2
    Prepare the chicken and vegetables as you would for Broccoli Stir Fry or Egg Roll filling, with particle sizes around 1-inch diameter.
  3. 3
    For the sauce, start with 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of corn starch. Bring this mixture to a boil while stirring. Add additional corn starch or chicken broth as needed to control the thickness. You may also wish to add some sugar, orange juice, and additional soy sauce.
  4. 4
    Add the sauce and cashews to the rest of the dish.
  5. 5
    Serve with rice.
