Here's an asian pro-tip:
Get potato starch and mix 1 tablespoon or so into the chicken after you've chopped the chicken up into pieces. It locks the chicken tenderness in and prevents 'chicken juice' from oozing out. Otherwise you will get bit of unwanted liquid which dilutes the sauce later.
Sort of like using flour for orange chicken? :0 I try to avoid using starches, but I've recently started experimenting with arrow root as a sauce-thickener. I'll mess around with that next time. Thanks!
No, not flour. Flour is from wheat. You can buy potato starch from asian grocery stores (like $2 and it'll last you forever), it looks exactly like flour but you mix it into chopped meat (before you cook) to prevent the meat-juice from escaping the meat which makes it more tender especially if your making stir fry. Try it out definitely, you will notice how you get a nice seared texture because there's no liquid oozing out. Edit: You can use almonds to replace cashews
Oh no, I mean like flouring chicken for orange chicken. It's somewhat the same process, but you use flour.
I actually did this with arrow root while messing around with making broccoli beef. :D |

Awesome, I'm not that hot at cooking but it looks doable, thanks!
Oh, another question, with these quatities how many people can eat?
Oops, sorry -- forgot to include that.
It'll feed about 4-5 people (be extra generous with the stir fry!).
You may want to up the rice portions too if you plan on making left overs. |

Nice idea and simple to follow presentation. Will try.
Just one thing. Please put a Serves: No of people think at the top of your recepie. I get that most of us can work it out from the ingredients weight but for novices it can be difficult. I dont know why but it pisses me off when its not there.

Looks nice, i make something similar often but will try this out.
The american/english way of noting ingredients for recipes is just awful though. Why such extensive use of the cup, listing in grams is so much more logical and easier for buying your ingredients. Not that it matters much in this recipe here but it's just a silly way of noting an ingredient list that is somehow not fully replaced by the superior method of just using grams or even if you have to some imperial system equivalent. |

| You don't have to use potato starch to velvet the chicken (I believe that is the term used to refer to this kind of preparation to keep stir-fried chicken moist); I use corn starch all the time and it works just fine. |
