Ingredients
17 ingredients- 14 oz (400 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce, for marinating
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil
- 7–10 small or medium dried chillies, optional
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1¼ cups red, orange or yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3/4 cup unsalted roasted or raw cashews, plus extra to garnish
- 2 green onions, halved lengthways and cut into 1½-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Golden Mountain seasoning sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1½ teaspoons sugar
- 1½ tablespoons Thai chilli paste
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Method
9 steps- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roast pre-roasted cashews for 8–10 minutes, or raw cashews for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove when lightly golden and set aside.
- Combine the chicken with 2 teaspoons soy sauce. Leave to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, Golden Mountain sauce, fish sauce, sugar, Thai chilli paste and sesame oil.
- If using dried chillies, add the oil and chillies to a cold wok. Place over low heat and stir until the chillies puff and darken, about 1 minute. Remove and drain on kitchen paper, leaving the oil in the wok.
- Increase the heat to high. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear without moving for approximately 2 minutes. Stir-fry until completely cooked, then remove the chicken while leaving the oil behind.
- Turn off the heat, add the garlic, then return the wok to medium heat. Cook until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Add the onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Increase the heat to high and add the bell peppers, cooked chicken and prepared sauce.
- Toss for approximately 1 minute, until everything is hot and evenly coated.
- Turn off the heat. Add the green onions and roasted cashews and toss briefly. Garnish with the fried chillies and serve immediately.
