  • Put the chicken into a bowl and add the baking soda.

  • Marinate the chicken with the baking soda for 15 minutes.
  • Rinse the chicken thoroughly with water and then dry the pieces.

  • Stir together the the cornstarch and rice vinegar and toss with the chicken and let it marinate for another 15 minutes.
  • Whisk together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
  • Over medium-high heat, heat a large skillet or wok with 1 tablespoon of canola oil and stir fry the chicken meat until its white and just underdone, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Add another tablespoon of cooking oil to the skillet and add the ginger, mushrooms, peppers and yellow onion.

  • Then add the chicken back in along with the green onions, garlic and cashews.
  • Stir and let cook for 2-3 minutes more.
  • Add in the sauce and stir continuously until the chicken meat is cooked and well coated with the sauce.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove from heat and let sit for 1-2 minutes.
  • The sauce will thicken.
  • Garnish with more green onions and cashews, if desired
  • Cassies Notes: Substitute any vegetables that you have on hand for the stir-fry.
  • I like to add fresh green beans, broccoli, red peppers and water chestnuts to this dish.
  • I serve brown rice along side the cashew chicken.
