How to Make Cashew Chicken Microwave
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a 2-3 quart microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high for 3 minutes to heat the oil.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 pound of raw chicken chunks, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon sherry. Mix well to marinate.
- Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the dish.
- Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam. Microwave on high for 3 1/2 minutes.
- Add 1 cup frozen pea pods and 1/2 cup cashews.
- Microwave for another 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Stir gently halfway through.
- Serve the Cashew Chicken hot over cooked rice.
