This is Dad's classic recipe for cashew chicken. Obviously the recipe was given to me with measurements and quantities being estimated or "however much," so you will want to do what works best for your taste. I've tweaked the recipe according to my taste.
About 4 servings
1 large chicken breast, cut in small pieces
1/2 onion, diced into large pieces
Chopped vegetables, such as green pepper, celery, zucchini, or baby corn
1 tsp garlic (optional)
1 Tbsp peanut oil (or more)
1/2 cup cashews (a handful)
Sauce:
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp chicken boullion
2 tsp or more chopped or grated fresh ginger
2 tsp soy sauce or slightly less
2 c water
To mix sauce, add all ingredients in a pint mason jar and shake to mix.
Stir fry chicken in peanut oil for 2 minutes. Remove from pan. Stir fry vegetables in oil for 2 minutes. Add chicken back and a handful of cashews. Stir fry in oil for 2 more minutes. Add sauce and heat until cornstarch has made the desired consistency. Serve on rice.
