Sweet and Sticky Cashew Chicken

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
• 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (can sub white vinegar)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon finely minced ginger

Instructions

1. 1

   prep chicken: Place the chicken and cornstarch in a medium-sized bowl and mix well.

2. 2

   make sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the cashew chicken sauce ingredients.

3. 3

   cook chicken: Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until almost cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and add the remaining chicken, adding more oil if needed.
