  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Small bowl
  • Spatula or stir-fry spoon

Ingredients

  • 400 g chicken fillet
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 leek
  • 100 g sugar snap peas
  • 60 g unsalted cashew nuts
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce

How do you make a quick stir-fry with chicken and cashew nuts?

    1. Cut the chicken fillet into thin strips and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of garlic powder.
    2. Cut the bell pepper into strips, slice the leek into rings and halve the sugar snap peas.
    3. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and a teaspoon of cornstarch until smooth.
    4. Heat a splash of sunflower oil over high heat in a large pan or wok. Fry the chicken strips for 3 to 4 minutes until golden and cooked through. Set them aside briefly.
    5. Add a little more oil and stir-fry the bell pepper, leek and sugar snap peas for 2 to 3 minutes over high heat. The vegetables should remain slightly crisp.
    6. Return the chicken to the pan, pour the sauce over and toss everything well. Let warm for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly.
    7. Sprinkle the cashew nuts over and serve immediately. Delicious with steamed rice or noodles.

A good wok or large pan makes all the difference when stir-frying. High heat, little oil and quick movement: that's how you get the crisp bite that makes this dish so delicious. Choose a pan that holds heat well and you're ready for any quick weeknight evening.

Feel free to vary the vegetables with what you have in the fridge. Broccoli, zucchini or snow peas all work well here. This recipe is basically a handy base you can change up every week. Taste, adjust, enjoy.
