  • In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, white pepper, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • In a large, deep skillet or wok, over medium high, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the chicken and stir fry till lightly browned, 2 or 3 minutes. It should not be completely cooked through yet.
  • Add the green peppers, onion and fresh ginger. Stir fry till the chicken is cooked through and the onions are translucent, about 5 or 6 minutes.
  • Stir in the sauce and cashews. Enjoy!

  1. For some reason I've never mastered stir-fry or Chinese recipes, but this is the closest I've gotten. It helped me to tenderise the chicken first using baking soda then rinsing and using cornstarch on the chicken before frying.
     
  2. Great Chinese chicken dish!!! I made this, although scaled back to 1/2 of the amount, and subbed whole almonds for the cashews, otherwise, made as written. To me, this is more authenic tasting, by using the oyster and sesame sauces, then other recipes. My reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, is that it was too sweet for my liking, almost a sweet and sour chicken flavor.
     
  3. If you're looking for a quick and healthy weeknight meal...look no further because this is it! It's delicious! Served it with brown rice and garnished with scallions.
     
  4. My husband liked this meal, but I did not. I had high hopes, but in my opinion it did not have any flavor.
     
  5. Nice stir-fry, with a bit of tang, the mixture of sauces different to what I usually make but nice for something different.
