- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and the remaining cornstarch. Set aside.
- Then heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium heat until hot. Add in the minced garlic, broccoli and bell pepper. Sprinkle the ground ginger, salt and pepper over these veggies. Sauté the veggies in the skillet until they are the tenderness that you desire (5-7 minutes).
- Then pour in the sauce mixture. Cook this mixture with the veggies over medium heat until the sauce begins to boil and thickens (1-3 minutes).
- Stir in the chicken and cashews into the skillet with the veggies and sauce.
