## Ingredients

- 600 g boneless skinless Chicken Thighs
- 1 tsp White Pepper
- 1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
- 2 tsp Light Soy Sauce
- 50 g Plain Flour
- 120 ml Veg Oil
- 200 g Unsalted Cashew Nuts
- 2 medium White Onions
- 2 medium Peppers
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 Red Chillies
- 3 Spring Onion
- 1.5 tbsp Granulated Sugar
- 1 tbsp Oyster Sauce

## Instructions

1. Combine the chicken with the white pepper and 2 tsp soy sauce in a large mixing bowl.
2. Mix in the flour until the chicken is fully coated.
3. Heat 120ml of oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat for a few minutes.
4. Once hot, add the cashews and fry until deep golden, keeping an eye on them to prevent burning.
5. Remove the cashews with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl, leaving the oil behind.
6. Working in two batches, shake off any excess flour from the chicken and add it to the oil.
7. Fry the chicken until golden and crisp on the outside and piping hot through the center (about 5 minutes per batch).
8. Remove each batch with a slotted spoon and set aside.
9. Discard all but about 2 tbsp of oil from the wok.
10. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic to the wok and fry for a couple of minutes.
11. Add the chilli and firm white parts of the spring onions and fry for one minute longer.
12. Stir in the chicken, then stir in the sugar, oyster sauce, and the remaining 1 tbsp of soy sauce.
13. Toss in the cashews and the rest of the spring onion.
14. Ensure the sugar has fully dissolved and the sauce has a glossy texture that lightly coats everything.
15. Serve and enjoy, preferably with cooked rice.
