Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 200°F (95°C) and line a baking sheet with foil to make cleanup a breeze.
Step 2
Next, grab a large skillet and heat up some peanut oil until it reaches a sizzling 350°F (175°C).
Step 3
In the meantime, take a shallow bowl and whisk together all-purpose flour, a tablespoon of cornstarch, and a pinch of baking soda for that perfect coating.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat a couple of eggs until they’re nice and frothy.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to coat the chicken! Dip each piece into the flour mixture, then into the eggs, and back into the flour mixture again, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated for that delightful crunch.
Step 6
Carefully lower the coated chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 7
Once done, let them drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Step 8
While the chicken is frying, bring some chicken broth to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Step 9
On your prepared baking sheet, spread out the cashew halves and chopped green onions, ready to be toasted.
Step 10
As the broth bubbles away, stir in oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and a dash of ground white pepper for a flavor explosion.
Step 11
In a separate cup, mix the remaining cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry, then slowly pour it into the hot broth, stirring gently to thicken it up.
Step 12
Let this simmer for an additional 5 minutes over medium-low heat, allowing those flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 13
Now, pop the cashews and green onions into the preheated oven for about 5 minutes to enhance their nutty flavor.
Step 14
Once everything is ready, it’s time to bring it all together! Pour the luscious sauce over the crispy fried chicken and generously top with the toasted cashews and green onions.
Step 15
Enjoy this delightful dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
