Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 5 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: chinese
Ingredients: ½ cup Jasmine Rice; 1 ¼ cups Cold Water; 12 oz Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast; 1 Red Bell Pepper; ½ Green Bell Pepper; ½ Yellow Onion; 3 cloves Garlic; about ½ piece Ginger Root; 2 tbsp Soy Sauce; 1 tbsp Hoisin Sauce; 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar; ½ tbsp Honey; 1 ½ tbsp Cornstarch; 1 tbsp Neutral Vegetable Oil; ⅓ cup Roasted Unsalted Cashews; ¼ bunch Green Onions

1

Rinse the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear, then combine with water in a small saucepan over high heat.

2

While the rice water heats, seed the red bell pepper and green bell pepper, then cut both and the yellow onion into 1-inch pieces.

3

Once the rice reaches a rolling boil, stir once, cover tightly, reduce heat to low, and simmer undisturbed for 15 minutes, then pull off the heat to steam.

4

While the rice simmers, mince the garlic, peel and finely grate the ginger, and thinly slice the green onions, keeping separate piles.

5

Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and toss in a medium bowl with soy sauce and cornstarch until evenly coated.

6

Set a 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

7

While the skillet heats for 2 minutes, whisk the remaining soy sauce, hoisin, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl until smooth.

8

Swirl the oil into the hot skillet and add the chicken in a single layer.

9

Sear undisturbed for 3 minutes until the undersides turn golden and release easily, then stir-fry 1 minute until the edges turn opaque.

10

Add the peppers and onion and stir-fry 3 minutes until the peppers turn glossy and tender-crisp and the onion edges soften.

11

Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care the garlic does not brown.

12

Stir the sauce, pour it in with the cashews, and toss 1 to 2 minutes until it bubbles into a glossy glaze and the chicken reaches 165 F.

13

Fluff the rice with a fork, spoon it onto plates, top with the cashew chicken, and scatter over the green onions.
