CHICKEN WITH CASHEW NUTS

Ingredients :
½ cup Cashews
1 red bell pepper
1 lb boneless chicken breasts
3 tbsps peanut oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tbsps Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
3 tbsps Hoisin Sauce
2 tbsps sesame oil
5-6 scallions, green part only, cut into 1 inch lengths

Method :

Heat a wok until hot, add the cashews and dry-fry over low to medium heat for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and set aside. Cut the red bell pepper in half and remove seeds. Slice into thin strips. Skin the chicken fillet and cut into thin finger-length strips. Heat the wok again until hot, add the oil and swirl it around. Add the garlic and let it sizzle in the oil for a few seconds. Add the bell pepper and chicken and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the rice wine or dry sherry and hoisin sauce. Continue to stir-fry until the chicken is tender and all the ingredients are evenly glazed. Stir in the sesame oil, toasted cashews and scallions. Serve immediately.
