Chicken Cashew Stir-Fry


1 1/3 lbs. chicken breast
1 egg white
1 tablespoon cornstarch
salt
1-2 red bell peppers
5 green onions
2 cloves garlic
4-6 fresh red Fresno chili peppers or red jalapenos
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine (sake, mirin)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/3 cup vegetable oil

1. Cut chicken breasts into ½ inch cubes. Mix with egg white, cornstarch, and a little salt.

2. Cut bell peppers into strips. Finely mince together garlic and chilis. For the sauce: combine soy sauce, rice wine, sugar and sesame oil in a small bowl.

3. Heat wok, add oil and fry cashews for about 1 minute until golden. Remove and drain well on paper towels. Set aside.

4. Add bell peppers, green onions, and the garlic-chile mixture to the oil and fry over high heat for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add chicken and stir-fry for about 2 minutes or until cooked through. Pour in sauce, add cashews, heat through and serve.

Notes: I used less oil, 1 red bell pepper and 1 ½ jalepenos . Spice level was still mild.
