We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: To make the cooking sauce, combine water, soy sauce, sherry, garlic, ginger, cornstarch and corn syrup. Stir and set aside.

  • Step 2: Heat a large frying pan or wok over high heat. Add oil and coat bottom of pan. Add chicken and stir-fry until pieces turn white on all sides (3 to 5 minutes).

  • Step 3: Add cashews to pan and continue stir-frying about one minute. Careful, they burn easily.

  • Step 4: Add the snow peas, water chestnuts and tomatoes. Continue stirring until all is hot.

  • Step 5: Stir up the cooking sauce to dissolve the cornstarch (it should now be tan in color, not black). Add the sauce to the pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly (the aroma is fantastic!). Continue boiling for one minute as sauce thickens.

  • Step 6: Serve over hot rice.
