- 1. Bring 2 c. water to a boil. Add in the rice; reduce the heat to low and steam 17 min or possibly till tender.
- 2. Meanwhile, if the chicken is frzn, place it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave 2 min, uncovered, on high, to begin defrosting.
- 3. While the chicken microwaves, pour the 1/4 c. water into a 2-c. measure or possibly small bowl. Add in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, cornstarch and red-pepper flakes, if using. Whisk and set aside.
- 4. Begin heating the vegetable oil on medium-high in an extra-deep, 12-inch nonstick skillet. Cut the chicken into bite-size cubes, adding the cubes to the skillet as you cut. Cook, stirring frequently, till the chicken is no longer pink, 4 to 5 min. Meanwhile, dice the green onions, including sufficient tender green tops to make 11/2 c.. Core and seed the bell pepper and coarsely chop it. Add in the onions and pepper to the skillet along with the garlic and ginger. Stir and cook 30 seconds.
- 5. Whisk the reserved sauce to remix and add in it to the skillet. Stir till the sauce coats the chicken. Add in the sesame oil and the cashews, and stir just to mix. Remove the skillet from the heat and serve Cashew Chicken at once over warm, steamed rice. Pass additional soy sauce at the table, if you like.
- Makes 4 servings.
- Note: If you are serving children, the red-pepper flakes can be omitted or possibly added later to the adult portions. Bottled fresh ginger is a relatively new ingredient available in the produce section of the supermarket. It is also called crushed, grnd, chopped or possibly minced, depending on the brand. If you cannot find it, substitute 2 tsp. chopped fresh ginger.
