Spicy Thai Cashew Chicken!

HELLO!!  This is one of my family's FAVORITE dishes that I make!  It is spicy, sweet, crunchy and YUMMY!!  When I want to make my guys happy, I make this!  SO easy too!





                                                     Spicy Thai Cashew Chicken!
Serve over Jasmine rice!  This one is a WINNER!

2 1/2 pounds boneless chicken meat- cut into slivered pieces
1 Large onion- cut into big chunks
1 bunch green onion- cut into 1-2 inch pieces
6 jalapeno peppers- sliced into strips, keeping the seeds
1 Tbsp minced garlic
6 oz. bottle of oyster sauce- after you use, pour water halfway up in bottle (about 1/4 cup water), shake and add to dish (gets the oyster sauce left in bottle out, and you need the water in recipe :)
2-3 tsp sugar (We like 2)
1 cup whole cashews (added just before serving)
Peanut oil, or olive oil for stir frying  (about 3 Tbsp in wok at all times)

Serve over cooked Jasmine rice, so don't forget to prepare that according to directions~

Stir fry up the chicken, in batches, if needed.  DRAIN OUT juices and oil and put chicken aside, while you wok up the vegetables~  (can make this without wok:)
Put fresh oil into wok, heat up over med high heat, add jalapenos, toss around for a bit, then add all onions.  Stir fry those until cooked through but NOT completely...you want them somewhat firm.  Toss in the garlic, and cook another minute~
Add the oyster sauce, water, sugar and the cooked chicken you put aside. Toss well, and let chicken get rewarmed. Only needs about a minute!  As soon as you are almost ready to serve, throw in the cashews~
