Sweet and Sour Chicken with Noodles and Cashews instructions
- This dish is all about the Prep. Get your ingredients organised and you'll be ready to Wok!.
- Take a bowl and a good pair of kitchen scissors and cut up the Chicken Fillet in to 2-3 cm chunks..
- Now Dice up the Pineapple and put in to a bowl until ready to use. I use around 1/4 to 1/3 per person depending on the size of the fruit..
- Peel and thinly slice the Carrots, no thicker than 2mm and put in to a jug with Boiling Water to soften slightly..
- Slice the Pepper lengthways, removing the seeds and put in to another bowl with the Green Beans, as they will have the same cooking time..
- To make the Sauce, in a bowl, mix together the Cornflour and Cold Water until smooth and then simply add all of the other Ingredients and stir until combined. This should be a pink/orange colour!.
- Lastly, cut the Red Onion in to Wedges, thinly slice the Chilli and Garlic and slice the Ginger lengthways in to 1mm thick pieces.... Now we're ready to Wok!.
- Add 2 tbsp of Olive Oil to your Wok and 1 tbsp to a non stick frying pan, turning both on to a medium/high heat..
- Add the Cashews to the Frying Pan and once the Oil in the Wok is hot, add the Chicken..
- After 2-3 minutes, once the Chicken is sealed, throw in the Onion, Garlic, Chilli and Ginger and stir in to the Chicken. Now drain the Carrots and add to wok..
- After another couple of minutes add the Pineapple, Pepper and Green Beans..
- By now your Cashews should have begun to take on some colour... Keep your eye on them, making sure they don't burn, stirring and taking off heat if necessary..
- Empty your bowl of Sauce in to the Wok and stir so that all the Ingredients are coated..
- Cook for around 5 minutes, adding a splash of water as Sauce thickens..
- Whilst the Sauce cooks and thickens add your Noodles to the Cashews and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, adding a splash of water, until cooked..
- Now your Sauce should be nicely thickened and your Ingredients beautifully coated... You're ready to serve!.
