Instructions

  1. Place the chopped chicken in a bowl and toss them together with the cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  2. Chop the vegetables and have them ready to go next to stove. In a bowl or glass measuring cup whisk together the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
  3. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until it's very hot and then add in the oil. Swirl it to coat the bottom then dump the chicken. Spread it into a single layer and let it sear in the pan for a couple minutes before tossing it around.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet onto a plate. Add additional oil if needed and then add in the peppers, green onions, and sugar snap peas. Cook the vegetables until they are crisp tender, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken back into the skillet along with the edamame, cashews, and sauce. Stir everything together so that it's coated in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Garnish with extra green onions and sesame seeds if desired and serve over rice.
