While there are a million ways to execute a proper chicken cashew, I have found that this combination is the yummiest and all the ingredients are available in Egypt (albeit at a number of different grocery stores). Plan ahead so you can allow your chicken to marinate nicely. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1/2 kilo chicken, sliced into strips 1 teaspoon dried ginger 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 1 tablespoon rice vinegar salt and pepper to taste 2 bell peppers (one red, one yellow) 1 large onion 1 cup cashews extra virgin olive oil optional: water, flour, soy sauce, oyster sauce, ginger, or ketchup Directions: 1. Marinate the chicken in soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, and ginger 2. Chop peppers and onion into any size you like 3. After preferably 30 minutes of marinating, take chicken out of marinade and cook in a wok with one tablespoon of olive oil 4. Remove chicken from wok. At this point, if you are cooking in advance, you can stop and even keep the chicken in the fridge till it is time to serve. 5. 15 minutes before serving, put another tablespoon of olive oil in the wok and cook peppers and onion. 6. Add in extra soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ginger if you like. You may also omit the ginger and add in a spoon of ketchup for a little tangy sweetness. 7. Five minutes into cooking, add chicken and cashews 8. If you would like a little sauce, add in 1 cup of water mixed with 1 spoon of white flour to thicken the extra ingredients. 9. Serve with white basmati rice and enjoy!
