Ingredients:
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon hot chinese chili paste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 small yellow onion, in 1 inch dice
2 celery ribs, in 1/2 inch dice
1/2 cup unsalted roasted cashews
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 scallion, sliced thinly on the diagonal (optional garnish)
Directions:
1. Stir together the hoisin, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and chili paste.
2. Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp vegetable oil and the chicken. Leave chicken for a minute or two to sear. Then stir fry for another minute or two until lightly browned.
3. Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to pan with the celery, onions, cashews, and garlic. Stir-fry about 2 minutes, until crisp-tender. Add sauce mixture and chicken to pan. Stir-fry about 3-4 minutes longer, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is thicked. Serve with rice and garnished with scallions.
