Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  • Add chicken pieces and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add bell peppers and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar.
  • Return chicken to the skillet. Pour sauce over chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through and sauce has thickened.
  • Stir in cashews and green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot over steamed rice.

Notes

  • Adjust the level of spice by adding red pepper flakes if desired.
  • For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with tofu.
