Cashew Chicken

I recently bought a wok and have been dying to find new meals to make with it. When my mother raved about how good cashew chicken was I just had to try it out! It was for sure a success and one of my favourite meals I've attempted so far.




Ingredients: 
1 pound chicken breast cut into cubes
2 tbs white wine
2 tsp minced ginger
3 1/2 tsp cornstarch
Coarse salt
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs rice vinegar
2 tsp sugar
1 or 2 tbs vegetable oil
2 garlic cloves minced
2/3 cup unsalted cashews, toasted
3 green onions, white and green parts separated
Cooked white rice for serving

In a medium bowl mix together chicken, white wine, ginger and 1 tsp cornstarch. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In a small bowl mix remaining cornstarch, chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar. Set aside.

Heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and white part of green onions, sauté for about 30 seconds.
Add chicken and cook until partially done.
Add sauce and cashews. Cook until chicken is done.
Add green onions. Stir and serve.
