Method

  1. In a jug, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, muscovado sugar and cornflour. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok. Add the cashews and cook for a minute until golden brown. Quickly remove the nuts and tip on to kitchen paper to drain. Add the onion slices and fry over a high heat for 3-5 minutes until browned and softened, then lift them out and add to the cashews.
  3. Tip the chicken into the wok and stir fry for 3-4 minutes, then tip in the broccoli, mangetout and red pepper and stir fry for another 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet still crunchy.
  4. Stir the cornflour mixture to blend the ingredients, pour into the wok and stir fry for a couple of minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the onion and cashews, then pile on to warm plates.

    Needs a bit more kick. When I added the sauce it thickened too much and I had to add water from the noodles I was cooking to thin it out a bit. Very quick and easy, will add some ginger next time.
