How To Make Ginger Chicken

Use skinless and boneless white or dark meat chicken, whichever you prefer.
Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces and place into a bowl.
Add 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp corn starch, and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix well with the chicken and then set the bowl aside.
In another bowl, combine sauce ingredients and set aside.

Prepare the veggies; this dish will cook fast, so have all the veggies chopped before beginning to cook the chicken.
Chop fresh ginger into matchstick sizes; fresh ginger and lots of it make this recipe delicious,
so don't be shy with the ginger.
Cut carrots into matchstick sizes.
Finely chop the garlic.
Chop onions (I prefer green onions if I have them on hand, but any onion will work)
Chop hot pepper if desired; the fresh ginger will add a bit of bite to the dish,
so skip the pepper if you prefer a milder recipe.

Heat a skillet and oil on medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
Adjust heat as needed.
After 5 minutes, add onion, garlic, ginger, and hot peppers.
Cook another 5 minutes, then add carrots and any other veggies; add sauce and mix well and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.
Add more water if desired. The sauce will be thicker or thinner depending on the amount of water added.
To finish the dish, stir in cashew nuts and remove from the heat.
Serve over rice.
