CHINESE CASHEW CHICKEN
4 | Chicken Breasts |
1 | Onion |
2 | Garlic Cloves |
2 Tbsp | Cornflour |
8 Tbsp | Soy Sauce |
5 Tbsp | Water |
120 g | Cashew Nuts |
2 Handfuls | Spinach Leaves |
Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic cloves |
Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces |
Add the onions, garlic and chicken to a large bowl |
To the bowl, add the cornflour and soy-sauce and stir to evenly coat the chicken and onions |
Cover the bowl and set in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes (ideally 2 hours) to marinate |
After the chicken has marinated, add the oil to a wok |
Add the cashew nuts to the wok and stir fry for 2 minutes |
Then add the chicken and onions, stir fry for a further 5 minutes |
Then add the water, mix and cook for a further 3 minutes |
Add the spinach to the wok, stir and cook until the spinach reduces down - about 2 minutes |
The chicken should now be cooked through, the sauce thickened, and spinach cooked - serve alongside noodles or rice |
Notes |
If you have little sauce when cooking - add a little more water. It seems dry at first, but by step 10 you'll have quite a bit of sauce. |
