Method (tap to check — screen stays awake)

  1. Toss the chicken with cornstarch, then sear in hot oil over high heat for 5 minutes until golden; remove.
  2. Fry the dried chilies and cashews briefly until fragrant, then remove the cashews so they stay crunchy.
  3. Stir-fry the onion and bell pepper 2 minutes until crisp-tender.
  4. Return the chicken, add oyster sauce, soy sauce, and chili paste, and toss 2 minutes to coat.
  5. Fold in the cashews and green onions off the heat and serve with jasmine rice.
