"This chicken recipe is a favorite of my family I make it very often it's very easy and quick to make so it makes the perfect week night meal, it's the perfect blend of salty from the soy and sweet from the hoisin. The cashews that are served in Asian restaurants are mostly deep-fried, I prefer to toast the nuts instead."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, wine, and ginger. Add the chicken and mix well.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar, and 2 tablespoons water.

Step 3

In a wok or stir-fry pan, heat oil over high heat. Add the garlic and stir until the oil is hot and the garlic sizzles. Re-stir up the chicken mixture and add it to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the chicken turns white, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic, if desired.

Drizzle with sesame oil and mix well. Serve immediately with cooked rice
