Method

  1. Heat your oil or oil sprays in a wok or frying pan on medium heat. When hot enough, add the chicken and stir fry till browned all over.
  2. Add the veg and cook for about 5 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, mix the yellow bean and soy sauces, and rice wine vinegar in a little jug. Then stir enough water to give a nice thin sauce, though you could use less if you like thicker, stickier sauces.
  4. Pour the sauce into the wok and toss the chicken and veg around till it is well mixed in. Cook for about another 5 mins till the chicken is cooked, and the veg is tender but still with a little crunch
  5. Toss in some cashew nuts if you like them, and stir then through the veg for a minute to heat through.
  6. Serve with rice or egg noodles - why not try making some egg fried rice for a real Chinese feast?

    Thanks! The recipe also works well without the soy sauce if your trying to watch your salt intake.
