Inspired by some other stir-fry experiments, this is an attempt to recreate a Chinese takeout favorite from a restaurant I no longer live close to. Other veggies can be added as you like.

  • 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 0.25 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 pounds skinless , boneless chicken breast meat - cut into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 greens onions , chopped
  • 1 bell pepper , chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 0.5 cups cashews

    Whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and brown sugar in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Combine 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger, and curry powder in a large, sealable plastic bag and shake to mix. Add the chicken to the bag and toss until well coated.
