Chicken and Cashew Stir-Fry

Chicken and Cashew Stir-Fry


Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 lb. boneless chicken breasts, chopped or cubed
1 onion, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
1/3 cup rice wine or dry sherry
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, grated
1 6-oz. can water chestnuts
2 cups Chinese cabbage, (bok choy) chopped
1 cup bean sprouts fresh or canned
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
1/3 cup cashews
 
Directions:
Heat oil in skillet or wok. Cook chicken until no longer pink and set aside in a bowl. Add onion and celery to skillet and cook until crisp-tender. Combine rice wine or sherry, soy sauce, cornstarch and ginger together and stir until cornstarch dissolves. Return chicken to celery and onion in the skillet and add water chestnuts and sauce. Cook until sauce starts to thicken. Add Chinese cabbage and bean sprouts and cook for just one or two minutes; do not overcook because the cabbage will become mushy. Stir in hoisin sauce and cashews and serve over hot rice or noodles.
