Instructions
Creating Cashew Chicken and Broccoli can be a simple and enjoyable experience if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prep Ingredients: Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the broccoli florets and set aside.
2. Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow it to marinate for about 10 minutes.
3. Mix Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, cornstarch, and chicken broth. Set this aside.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5-6 minutes or until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
6. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then add the broccoli.
7. Add Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the broccoli. Stir well to combine.
8. Incorporate Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
9. Add Cashews: Finally, add the cashews and stir until everything is well-coated with sauce.
10. Serve: Remove from heat, and your Cashew Chicken and Broccoli is ready to be served.
