• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch

Appliances Required

  How To Prepare

  Step 1: Begin boiling the cashews in a covered pot. Add water from time to time to keep the cashews wet.

  Step 2: Prepare the chicken and vegetables by cutting them into pieces around 1-inch in diameter.

  Step 3: For the sauce, start with 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Bring this mixture to a boil while stirring. Add additional cornstarch or chicken broth as needed to control the thickness. Optionally, add some sugar, orange juice, and more soy sauce.

  Step 4: Add the sauce and cashews to the rest of the dish.

  Step 5: Serve with rice.

  Notes, Tips, and Variations

  Instead of stir-frying the chicken and boiling the cashews, you can add unboiled cashews and batter-fried chicken on top of the dish as you serve it. In this case, pour the sauce over the top. Serve quickly before the breading gets soggy.

  The cashews may also be stir-fried alone, with or without boiling.
