  1. This recipe's ingredients are scaled to yield ONE serving, so u should increase the amount of ingredients - proportionally - if more servings are required.

    I used raw cashew nuts instead of salted: Heat 1 tablespoon oil (sesame oil would be good) in a wok and add cashews, once brown, transfer cashews to a bowl and set aside.

    then I added 1 tablespoon thinly sliced ginger, 1 small green bell pepper and 1 small chili pepper to the onions in step 2 & saute until crisp-tender then added the chicken.

    enjoy!
