Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ginger Cashew Chicken.
Step 1
Start by creating a flavorful sauce that will elevate your dish.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, one tablespoon of cornstarch, three-quarters of a teaspoon of ground ginger, and a sprinkle of brown sugar.
Step 3
Whisk these ingredients together until they blend beautifully.
Step 4
Next, grab a large sealable plastic bag and add a quarter cup of cornstarch, one and a half teaspoons of ground ginger, and a dash of curry powder.
Step 5
Give it a good shake to mix everything, then toss in your chicken cubes.
Step 6
Shake the bag again until each piece of chicken is evenly coated in that delicious spice mixture.
Step 7
Now, let’s get cooking! Heat a combination of olive oil and sesame oil in a wok or a large skillet over high heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken and stir-fry it until it turns a lovely golden brown, which should take about three to five minutes.
Step 9
The aroma will be irresistible! Next, it’s time to add some color and crunch.
Step 10
Toss in the chopped green onions and bell pepper, cooking them for an additional two to three minutes until they’re tender and vibrant.
Step 11
This is where your dish starts to come alive! Now, pour that savory sauce mixture into the pan with the chicken and vegetables.
Step 12
Lower the heat to medium and sprinkle some sesame seeds over the top for an extra touch of flavor and texture.
Step 13
Bring everything to a gentle boil, then let it simmer for about three to five minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat all the ingredients beautifully.
Step 14
Once the sauce has reached the perfect consistency, remove the pan from the heat and fold in some crunchy cashews for a delightful finish.
Step 15
Give everything a good toss to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 16
Serve your delicious creation warm, and enjoy the delightful blend of tastes and textures that will surely impress your family and friends!.
