chinese orange barbecue cashew chicken Recipe are feel-good favorites. I make cozy meals for myself or for my family at the end of especially long days, on nights when I feel a cold coming on, or when we are in need of a little cheering up at your house.
SERVES 4
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, chopped into bite-size pieces
Salt and pepper
1 red bell pepper, chopped into ½-inch dice
1 onion, chopped into ½-inch dice
2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped or grated
1 inch of fresh gingerroot, peeled and grated or finely chopped
¼ cup hoisin sauce
¼ cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon hot sauce
2 tablespoons tamari (aged soy sauce)
½ cup chicken stock
½ cup honey-roasted cashews
4 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
Method:
Serve with brown or light brown rice cooked to the package directions for four servings.
Place a large skillet over high heat with about 2 tablespoons of the oil. When the pan is very hot, add the meat, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan and reserve on a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, then add the bell pepper, onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
In a small bowl, stir together the hoisin sauce, orange marmalade, hot sauce, tamari, and stock.
Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce.
Add the cashews, toss to coat, and continue cooking until the sauce thickens up, about 1 minute more.
Serve the stir-fry with brown rice and garnish with the scallions.
