Making the Chicken & Cashew Stir-fry

Season the Chicken Breast with the Ginger, garlic, Sesame Oil and 1 table spoon of Soy Sauce.

Heat the Vegetable Oil on high in the wok (or large frying pan).

Fry the cashews until golden for 1 minute. Remove from wok with a slotted spoon to keep the oil in the pan. Place the cashews on a paper towl to absorb the excess oil.

Remove all but about 2 tablespoons of the oil and reheat on medium-high heat.

Stir-fry the chicken until it changes colour for about 2 minutes. Remove from the wok and set aside.

Add the broccoli, onion, capsicum, celery and carrot and stir-fry for 3 minutes.

Return the chicken and add the bamboo shoot and stir-fry until just cooked for about 1-2 minutes.

Mix the cornflour into the stock and pour the remaining soy sauce into the wok. Bring to the boil stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce glazes the ingredients.

Add the cashews and salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
