Spicy Cashew Chicken instructions
- Combine 2 Tbsp of soy sauce with the cooking sherry in a medium sized bowl.
- Cut chicken into bite sized pieces, put chicken in soy sauce and sherry marinade. Let sit while you prepare the other ingredients.
- In a small bowl, whisk 8 Tbsp soy sauce, 3 Tbsp corn starch, 8 tsp sugar, and 4 tsp vinegar. Set aside..
- Slice the green onions, mince the garlic and measure out the red pepper flakes.
- Drain chicken in strainer to get the marinade off as much as possible.
- Heat oil in wok or large skillet over high heat. When oil is hot and ready, add red pepper flakes to the oil and stir a few times.
- Add chicken all at once. Let the chicken sit for a few minutes until golden, then stir to turn the chicken and brown on both sides..
- Once chicken is golden brown and cooked through, add garlic to chicken and cook for about a minute.
- Drain oil if there is still an excessive amount in the pan. Add cashews, stir..
- Immediately remove wok or skillet from the heat pour in sauce while continuously stirring to coat all the chicken in the sauce..
- The sauce should thicken quite a bit, but if you would like it thicker, put the pan back on medium heat for 5-10 seconds, constantly stirring..
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top, add green onion slices, serve over white rice, and enjoy!.
- Veggies could also be added. I added a 1/4 cup of chopped celery and added it right before adding the cashews.
