STIR-FRIED CHICKEN AND BOK CHOY
No need for a wok here. You can use a flat-bottomed skillet or sauté pan instead, the bigger the better. You want as much surface area as possible to get as hot as possible, so preheat the pan for at least five minutes before adding the oil. There should be a forbidding amount of smoke when the ingredients hit the pan (open the windows and turn on the fan before you start). That will give you the deepest sear. Stir-fries are infinitely variable, and you can change up this recipe by using beef or pork, and other green vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, mustard greens, cabbage, spinach or thinly sliced green beans) substitute nicely for the bok choy. Make a version of this dish once or twice and you'll have a reliable and delicious alternative to takeout.

Steps:
- Blanch bok choy in a 4- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water until just wilted but still bright green, about 30 seconds. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold water to stop cooking and drain well.
- Whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, pepper, and five-spice powder in a small bowl, then add oils in a slow stream, whisking until combined. Stir in sesame seeds.
- Toss together chicken, cucumber, cilantro, and 1/3 cup dressing in a bowl.
- Divide bok choy among 4 serving bowls and spoon chicken salad on top. Drizzle with some of remaining dressing and sprinkle with cashews. Transfer remaining dressing to an airtight container and chill for another use.
Tips:
- Choose tender chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs that are evenly sized for even cooking.
- Use high-quality cashew nuts: Fresh, unsalted cashew nuts provide the best flavor and crunch. Avoid pre-seasoned or flavored nuts.
- Prep your vegetables: Wash and chop the bok choy and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger for maximum flavor.
- Make a flavorful sauce: Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. This sauce will coat the chicken and vegetables.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary to prevent overcrowding. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and Soggy vegetables.
- Serve immediately: Cashew chicken is best served hot and fresh. Garnish with chopped green onions and extra cashew nuts for a visually appealing dish.
Conclusion:
Cashew chicken with bok choy is a delicious and nutritious dish that combines tender chicken, crunchy cashews, and fresh vegetables in a flavorful sauce. This recipe is easy to follow and can be made in under 30 minutes, making it a perfect weeknight meal. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
