By Fiona at wisheshopesdreams.co.uk

This delicious stir fry is so easy to make and tastes heavenly! It’s my go-to recipe for a tasty dinner after a busy day.

Ingredients

Serves 4

  • For the chicken:

  • 1 free-range egg
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 500g skinless chicken breast fillets, sliced
  • 300ml groundnut oil

  • For the stir fry:

  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 1 yellow pepper, de-seeded, sliced into strips
  • 1 red pepper, de-seeded, sliced into strips
  • 3 tbsp chicken stock
  • 2-3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 large spring onions, sliced
  • 4 tbsp roasted cashew nuts
  • Sea salt and ground white pepper
  • Steamed jasmine rice to serve

Method

For the chicken, place the egg into a bowl, add the cornflour and a pinch of salt, and whisk well to combine. Then add the chicken to the egg mixture and coat well.

Heat a wok until smoking and add the groundnut oil. Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent kitchen paper.

For the stir-fry, pour off all the oil from the wok, except for one tablespoon. Reheat the oil over a high heat, add the onion, and stirfry for a few seconds.

Add the yellow and red pepper slices and stirfry them for 1 minute, or until softened. Then add the chicken pieces and stir-fry them for a further 1-2 minutes. Finally, add the stock and soy sauce and simmer for another minute, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Stir in the spring onions and cashew nuts, season to taste with sea salt and ground white pepper, and transfer it to a serving dish.

Serve immediately with steamed rice.
