Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, stirring to coat well. Let the chicken marinate for about 15-30 minutes.

  2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken (reserving the marinade) and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Stir in the cashews and green onions, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cashews are toasted and fragrant.

  5. Pour in the reserved marinade and the cornstarch slurry. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

  6. Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the cashew chicken over a bed of cooked white rice, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
