Ingredients
- 500 grams chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium bell peppers, diced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 100 grams unsalted cashews
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes while preparing other ingredients.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and water to create the sauce. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cashews and toast them until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the cashews and set them aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until it is no longer pink and lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Step 5
Add the garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the diced bell peppers and sliced onion. Stir-fry for 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 6
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir to coat everything evenly and let it simmer for 2 minutes to thicken.
Step 7
Add the toasted cashews and green onions. Drizzle with sesame oil and stir one last time to combine.
Step 8
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
