How to Make Sweet Spicy Cashew Chicken
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and sriracha (adjust to your spice preference). Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- Add remaining oil to the skillet. Add bell peppers, onions, and carrots. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened.
- Add broccoli and snow peas; stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
- Stir in cashews and cook for another minute until heated through.
- Serve hot over rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds (optional).
