Hi, I'm Danelle and this is where I dish about my favorite recipes. I focus on simple, family friendly fare and try to make feeding the family a little bit easier for everyone.
Ingredients1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
8 scallions, sliced, white and green parts separated
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup raw cashews, toasted
Salt and pepper, to taste
White rice, for serving (optional)
Directions
In a medium bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch until chicken is coated. Season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, tossing often, for 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and white parts of scallions to the skillet. Continue cooking until chicken is browned, about 3 minutes more. Add vinegar and cook until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Stir in hoisin sauce and 1/4 cup water. Cook and stir until chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat. Stir in scallion greens and toasted cashews. Serve immediately over white rice, if desired.
Let's Dish
This dish comes together in about 20 minutes, so you'll want to start your rice well ahead of time if you're planning to serve that as a side dish. To toast your cashews, cook them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. I love the simplicity of this dish, but it's also great with some additional vegetables, like carrots and broccoli.

ReplyDeleteThis is my husbands favourite Asian dish so I make it here quite a lot, but I have never used hoisin sauce-what a mistake! I can imagine that it provides an enormous amount of taste. Thanks for this great recipe!

ReplyDeleteI love cashew chicken but can never get my homemade version to taste as wonderful as takeout. I'm thinking it's the hoisin sauce. It's going on the grocery list right now!
