CHINESE PINEAPPLE CHICKEN WITH CASHEW NUTS, GINGER, SPRING ONION



Chinese Pineapple Chicken With Cashew Nuts, Ginger, Spring Onion image

This is sure to satisfy all your cravings for Chinese food, it's a great recipe. Be brave with the ginger, it mellows out as it cooks and is helped along by the sweetness of the dish. The cashew nuts are optional but I am yet to make it without them as I love their crunchy texture and creamy taste. Be sure to serve it with plenty of white fluffy rice. Quicker than waiting for takeout. UPDATE - I HAVE DECREASED THE AMOUNT OF WATER USED IN THE SAUCE FROM 1/2PT TO 1/4 PINT BUT I FIND IT DOES TEND TO GET A BIT TOO THICK AND NEEDS A DROP OR 2 MORE. USE YOUR SENSES, IF YOU THINK IT NEEDS IT THEN ADD IT! ADDING FROZEN VEGGIES WILL WATER THE SAUCE DOWN CONSIDERABLY. THIS PARTICULAR RECIPE DOES NOT ADHERE MUCH TO TWEAKING AND I SUGGEST YOU TRY IT AS STATED BELOW FIRST. THANK YOU

GINGER-CASHEW CHICKEN



Ginger-Cashew Chicken image

Provided by Joanie Moscoe

Categories     Wok     Chicken     Ginger     Stir-Fry     Quick & Easy     Cashew     Bon Appétit     New Jersey

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
4 small onions, sliced
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
4 celery stalks, sliced
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup canned chicken broth
1/4 cup dry Sherry
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup salted roasted cashews
3 green onions, sliced
Steamed rice

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok or heavy large skillet over high heat. Add onions and cook until tender, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and continue cooking until onions are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and celery and cook until chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Transfer mixture to platter. Set aside.
  • Add remaining teaspoon oil to wok. Add flour and stir over medium-high heat until just beginning to color, about 1 minute. Mix in broth, Sherry, soy sauce and mustard. Boil until slightly thickened, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Return chicken mixture to wok. Mix in cashews. Cook until chicken is heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to platter. Garnish with green onions and serve with rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, gather all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for vegetables that are crisp and brightly colored, and meat that is well-marbled and free of any discoloration.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken or vegetables, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and may result in soggy or undercooked food.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent food from sticking and will also add flavor to your dish. To season a wok, heat it over high heat until it is smoking. Then, add a thin layer of oil and swirl it around the wok. Let the oil heat for a few minutes, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  • Use a high heat: When cooking with a wok, it is important to use a high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the chicken and vegetables and will also help to prevent the food from sticking.

Conclusion:

Cashew nut and ginger chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, crunchy cashews, and flavorful ginger makes this dish a real winner. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, then you should definitely give this recipe a try. It is sure to become a new favorite in your household.
