Instructions

  1. Heat a wok and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, onion, and dried red chilies. Stir-fry until fragrant, or until you can smell the spicy aroma of the chilies. Add the cashew nuts, followed by the chicken.
  2. Stir-fry the chicken until the surface turns opaque. Add all the ingredients for the sauce to the wok and continue to stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the scallions, then dish out and serve immediately with steamed rice.
