Method

  1. Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and flour
  3. Prepare a plate with a paper towel and place it near the stove together with the other ingredients.
  4. Heat the oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cashews and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes (just make sure not to burn them). Transfer the cashews to the plate with a paper towel.
  5. With the remaining oil in the wok, cook the chicken for 2 minutes. Avoid stirring to achieve browning on the bottom. Continue cooking for another 6 to 7 minutes. This time turning the chicken occasionally until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to the paper-towel-lined plate.
  6. Saute the onions and bell peppers for 3 to 4 minutes. If the pan dries out, just add a splash of
    water.
  7. Add the sauce mixture and let it simmer until it starts to thicken, 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Add the cashews, chicken, and green onions. Toss together and cook for 1 minute. Serve while still hot.
