Cashew Chicken Ingredients

1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
4 Tbs salad oil
4 green onions
2 Tbs corn starch
1/2 lb mushrooms
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 cup chicken broth
1 packet cashew nuts
1/2 lb chinese pea pods
2 cups bamboo shoots drained
3 chicken breasts boned and skinned

Cashew Chicken Method

First thing to do is to slice the chicken breasts horizontally into very thin slices and cut into one inch squares then place the chicken on a tray. Prepare vegetables removing ends and strings from pea pods, slicing mushrooms, green part of onions, and the bamboo shoots and add to the tray with the chicken. Mix soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over moderate heat and add all the nuts and cook 1 minute shaking the pan toasting the nuts lightly then remove and keep to one side. Pour remaining oil in fring pan and fry the chicken quickly turning often until it looks golden then lower heat to low. Add pea pods, mushrooms and broth. Cover and cook slowly for 2 minutes. Remove cover and add the soy sauce mixture and bamboo shoots and cook the Cashew Chicken until thickened stirring constantly. Simmer the Cashew Chicken uncovered a bit more and add green onions and nuts and serve immediately. I love this recipe for Cashew Chicken with doongara rice.
