Malzemeler

1 tablespoons olive oil (or use sesame oil, sesame oil, or vegetable oil)

1 small onion (chopped)

1-2 spicy chili peppers (chopped (I love serrano, Thai peppers, or cayenne here - use bell pepper for a milder version)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1/2 cup cashew nuts (or more to taste)

1 pound boneless chicken (chopped (use chicken breast or chicken thigh)

1 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice (optional - it's not traditional, but I love the flavor)

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon fish sauce (or use oyster sauce)

1 tablespoon mirin (or Chinese cooking wine)

1 tablespoon corn starch

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Yöntemler

Season the chopped chicken with salt and pepper, and Chinese 5 spice (if using). Set aside until ready to use.

Oil

Heat a wok or large pan to medium heat and add oil.

Onions and Peppers

Add onion and peppers. Cook for 5 minutes to soften.

Garlic

Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring, until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Cashews and Chicken

Add the cashew nuts and chicken and stir. Cook another 7-8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Whisk together all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and add to the wok or pan. Stir to coat everything and warm the sauce, about 1 minute or longer. The sauce will thicken up.

Serve with rice and garnish!
