  • Cashew Chicken and Lee's Pot Stickers

    Not smoked or grilled, but damn good.
    This is NOT the nasty "cashew chicken" that is so popular here in the Ozarks and starting to spread to other parts of the country.
    This IS similar to cashew chicken like you'd find in better Chinese restaurants around the country.
    I used to drive a big truck over the road. And since I love Chinese food, I made it a habit to eat it in every part of the U.S., even if I had to take a cab because a truck was too big. In other words, I love Chinese or Chinese-American or what ever the purists want to call it.

    So here we go. This is the cashew chicken just finishing up in the wok.


    A bed of pork fried rice.


    Cashew Chicken is served.


    Lee's Pot Stickers and ginger sauce for dippin'. I didn't make the pleats either. No matter, they taste and look great!


    These will definitely be a permanent part of our Chinese menu. In fact our "traditional" Christmas dinner usually consists of beef and broccoli, fried rice, egg drop soup, egg rolls, shrimp toast, and now these.


    The plate is from a china set that my Dad got in Hong Kong in 1966. I only used it for the pic. We don't eat on them. They are hand painted and trimmed in gold and use has started to wear it away, so they stay in the china cabinet.

                Cashew Chicken

                Ingredients:

                4 boneless & skinless chicken breast (cut into small cubes)
                2 cups cashew nuts
                2 large green bell pepper (cut into small square pieces)
                20 thin slices ginger
                1 large onion (cut into small square pieces)

                Marinate:

                4 teaspoons baking soda
                4 teaspoons corn starch
                2 teaspoons rice wine or white grape juice

                Sauce:

                2 tablespoons oyster sauce
                1 tablespoons soy sauce
                3/4 cup water
                1/4 teaspoon white pepper powder
                2 teaspoons sugar
                2 teaspoons rice wine or white grape juice
                1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
                Salt to taste

                Method:

                1.Marinate the chicken meat with the baking soda for 15-20 minutes and then rinse the chicken thoroughly. (Please make sure that the chicken is properly rinsed clean of the baking soda.)
                2.Pat the chicken meat dry with paper towels and then marinate with the rest of the ingredients for 15 minutes.
                3.Mix the sauce together and set aside.
                4.Heat up a wok with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and stir-fry the chicken meat until the color turns white or half-cooked. Dish out and set aside.
                5.Add another 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the wok and add in the ginger slices, bell peppers and onions.
                6.Stir-fry until you smell the peppery aroma from the green peppers and add the chicken meat back in.
                7.Add in the cashew nuts and do a few quick stirs.
                8.Add in the sauce and stir continuously until the chicken meat is cooked and well coated with the sauce. Add salt to taste, dish out and serve the Cashew Chicken hot with steamed white rice.
                Serves 6
