Start by whisking together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Combine soy sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, and sriracha. Stir until the mix is smooth and set aside. This flavorful blend is the heart of the dish!

Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss them with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. This step gives the chicken that crisp exterior you’re going to love.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook them until golden and crispy on the outside. This should take around 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Using the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté them until fragrant (about a minute). This adds a delightful zing to the dish.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the sauce. Stir everything together until the chicken is evenly coated. Mix in the roasted cashews and green onions for the finishing touches. Sprinkle some red pepper flakes if you want an added kick.

Scoop the Spicy Cashew Chicken over a plate of steamed white rice or jasmine rice, and garnish with extra green onions or sesame seeds.
