Provided by AZ Food Critic

Categories     Meat

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 lb chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons rice wine
2 teaspoons fresh ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ginger (minced)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 garlic cloves (minced)
3 green onions (sliced 1 inch on a diagonal)
2 carrots (peeled, sliced on a diagonal)
1/2 cup broccoli (roughly chopped)
2 stalks celery (sliced 1 inch on a diagonal)
1/4 cup onion (sliced)
1/4 cup red bell pepper (chopped)
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts (drained and sliced)
1/2 cup roasted cashews
4 tablespoons oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Cube chicken into bite size pieces and place in a medium size mixing bowl.
  • Add the salt, rice cooking wine, ginger and cornstarch to the chicken cubes, using a fork to mix it in and adding the cornstarch last, mix again. Cover and marinate the chicken for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • Prepare the sauce ingredients while the chicken is marinating. In a small size mixing bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Finely mince the garlic. Wash and slice the green onions on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces, chop the broccoli, slice the celery, carrots, onions and drain the sliced water chestnuts.
  • Roast the cashews in a heavy skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan continuously so that the nuts do not burn. Roast for about 5 minutes, or until the cashews are lightly browned. Remove from the pan and let cool completely.
  • Heat the wok or large size skillet over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. Stir-fry until aromatic (about 30 seconds). Add the coated chicken cubes. Stir-fry until they change color (about 5 to 7 minutes) and are cooked through. Remove from the wok or frying pan, keep warm.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to the same wok or skillet. When the oil is hot, add the stir-frying vegetables. Stir-fry until crunchy-tender (about 5 to 6 minutes), then push up to the sides of the pan. Add the sauce and the chicken. Heat everything through and then fold all together to completely coat with sauce. Serve the chicken and vegetables over prepared rice (Jasmine rice is the best) and the roasted cashews on top as a tasty garnish.
  • Makes 4 servings.

Tips:

- **Choose the right chicken.** Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good options for this dish. If you use chicken breasts, be sure to slice them into thin strips so that they cook evenly. - **Use fresh broccoli.** Fresh broccoli is best for this dish, but you can also use frozen broccoli if that's all you have. If using frozen broccoli, be sure to thaw it completely before using. - **Don't overcrowd the pan.** When cooking the chicken and broccoli, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly. - **Use a high-quality cashew.** The quality of the cashews you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Be sure to use unsalted cashews that are fresh and crunchy. - **Make sure the sauce is thick enough.** The sauce for this dish should be thick and flavorful. If your sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry. - **Serve immediately.** This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken and broccoli will be at their best when they are hot and crispy. ###

Conclusion:

Asian cashew chicken with broccoli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table.
