Chicken and Cashew Stir-Fry

Serves 6

800g chicken thigh fillets, cut into 2cm pieces
4 ½ teaspoons cornflour
1 teaspoon vegetable or sesame oil
2 Tablespoons soy sauce
3 Tablespoons vegetable peanut oil
2 large red capsicum, deseeded, coarsely chopped
7 spring onions, ends trimmed, cut into 5cm lengths
½ Cup chicken stock
½ Cup salted roasted cashews

Combine the chicken, cornflour, sesame oil and 1 Tablespoon of the soy sauce in a medium bowl.

Heat 3 teaspoons the peanut oil in a wok over high heat until just hot. Add the capsicum and green shallot and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.

Heat 3 tsp of remaining peanut oil in the wok over high heat. Add a third of the chicken mixture and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes or until brown.
Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken mixture, reheating wok between batches.

Return chicken mixture to the wok. Add the stock and the remaining soy sauce and cook until mixture boils. Return the capsicum mixture to the wok and stir-fry until heated through. Remove from heat. Add the cashews and toss to combine.

The yellow highlights come from the lighting in the kitchen. This dish looked perfect and tasted even better. Very highly recommended.
