Cashew Chicken

  4 skinless chicken fillets

Marinade

  ½ teaspoon salt
  1 tablespoon sherry
  1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  2 teaspoons grated root ginger

Sauce

  2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  2 tablespoons soy sauce
  2 tablespoons water
  1 teaspoon sugar
  1 clove garlic
  4 spring onions
  ¼ cup cashews
  About 1 cup of mixed vegetables for stir frying e.g. green pepper, mange tout, cabbage etc
  Oil for frying

Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks. Mix the marinade ingredients and add the chicken. Leave to marinate for about 20 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, mix the sauce ingredients together. Finely chop the garlic and the spring onions. Heat a little oil in a wok and toast the cashews for a few minutes until lightly browned – but keep shaking the pan and try not to burn them! Remove the nuts and heat 2 tablespoons oil in the wok. Add the chicken, its marinade and the garlic. Stir fry until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove from the wok.
Add some more oil and stir fry the vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan and add the sauce. Stir fry over a medium heat until hot. Serve sprinkled with the toasted cashews and the spring onions.
