Chicken, Snow Peas and Cashew Stir-Fry

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredients
3 tbsp soy sauce
4 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp sherry or chicken stock
1 tsp sesame oil
Dash hot pepper sauce
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1 cup snow peas
1 sweet red pepper
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/3 cup roasted cashews
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 piece ginger root, sliced

Directions

In small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, sherry, sesame oil and hot pepper sauce; set aside. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces; set aside. Remove strings from snow peas; cut diagonally in half. Seed, core and cut red pepper into bite-size chunks. Set aside.

In wok or large skillet, heat vegetable oil over high heat; stir-fry chicken, in batches, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate.

Add snow peas, red pepper, cashews, garlic and ginger to wok; cover and steam until red pepper is tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.

Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan; toss to combine. Stir in soy sauce mixture; simmer until glossy, about 1 minute.
