Spicy Cashew Chicken

Pour 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of Hoisin sauce into a medium sized bowl. Place chicken into the soy sauce. Let it sit.

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar and vinegar. If you haven’t already, slice the green onions, mince garlic, and measure out red pepper flakes (if using).

Pour chicken into a strainer to drain and remove as much marinade as possible.

Heat oil in a large deep skillet (or wok if you have one) over high heat. Add red pepper flakes into the oil and stir a few times. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes until golden on the first side, then stir chicken. Add garlic and broccoli and cook until chicken is cooked through, then drain oil (if necessary).

Add cashews. Turn off heat and pour in sauce. Stir until chicken is covered in sauce. Sauce will thicken considerably. Add green onions and sesame seeds and serve over white rice.
