How to Make Cashew Chicken Take Out Style
- **Marinate the chicken:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon rice wine, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Add the 1 lb of chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces, and stir to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- **Prepare the sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (adjust to your spice preference). Set aside.
- **Stir-fry:** Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir-fry for about 20 seconds, until fragrant.
- **Cook the chicken:** Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, until lightly browned but not fully cooked through.
- **Add vegetables:** Add 1/2 sliced onion and 1 sliced bell pepper and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and the onions begin to soften.
- **Simmer in sauce:** Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat and let simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
- **Add cashews:** Stir in 1/2 cup of roasted cashews.
- **Serve:** Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy immediately!
