CHICKEN CASHEW AND NOODLE STIR-FRY
From Australian BH&G Diabetic Living. As the DH cooks most of the stir-frys in this household (I do all the prep) I'm hoping to get him to give this one a try so saving here (easier to print out the recipe than using the magazine), though would make some minor changes for allergy reasons. Please note that they usually do not specify brands in their recipes unless they feel they are integrate to the nutritional count.

SPICY CASHEW CHICKEN STIR-FRY
Steps:
- In a medium bowl combine the honey, vinegar, tamari and sriracha. Whisk to combine and set off to the side. In a large bowl combine chicken with cornstarch, salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Over medium-high, heat wok or large skillet with coconut oil and sesame oil. Once hot arrange the chicken in an even layer. Leave undisturbed for 3-4 mins. or until golden crust forms. Flip and continue to cook for 3-4 mins. Remove the chicken to a bowl and set off to the side. Add the broccoli, peppers, onion and garlic to the wok. Cook, stirring often until vegetables are tender yet still a bit firm. Add chicken back in and cook for 2 to 4 mins. or until fully cooked. Add cashews, peas and sauce to the wok. Stir until coated and heated through. Serve over warm rice.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stir-fry.
- Cut your chicken into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
- Marinate the chicken: This will help it absorb flavor and stay tender during cooking.
- Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help sear the chicken and vegetables and prevent them from sticking.
- Stir-fry in small batches: This will help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding the pan and steaming instead of frying.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to your stir-fry.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: They should still be slightly crunchy when you're done.
- Add a sauce or glaze: This will help to bind the ingredients together and add extra flavor.
- Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best when served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Chicken cashew stir-fry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal.
