Method
step 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.step 2
Add the veg and cook for about 5 mins.step 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.step 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 crunchstep 5
Toss in some cashew nuts if you like them, and stir then through the veg for a minute to heat through.step 6
Serve with rice or egg noodles - why not try making some egg fried rice for a real Chinese feast?
