Ingredients
1T Rice vinegar
1T Brown sugar
1T Oyster sauce
1/2t Sesame oil
1/2C Low-sodium soy sauce
2T Chopped fresh ginger
4 Boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into small cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3T Vegetable oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 Green bell pepper, cut into small cubes
1/4C Dry sherry
2T Cornstarch
1C Whole roasted, unsalted cashews
1/3C Water chestnuts, chopped
2 Scallions, thinly sliced
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
Directions
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, brown sugar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, 1/4 cup of the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of the ginger.
Set aside.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and saute until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
In the same skillet, stir-fry the garlic, bell peppers and remaining 2 tablespoons ginger, keeping them crisp-tender.
Deglaze the skillet with the sherry and scrape up any brown bits.
Add the reserved soy mixture and cook until the mixture boils, about 1 minute.
Whisk together the cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup soy in a small bowl, then stir the slurry into the skillet. Add the cashews and water chestnuts. Add 1/4 cup water to thin the sauce. Cook for another minute.
Serve garnished with the scallions and cilantro.
