## 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
- Cooked Rice

## 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 the oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan/wok over a medium-high heat for a few minutes.
4. Once hot, add the cashews and fry until deep golden, keeping an eye on them as they will burn quickly.
5. Remove the cashews with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl to one side, 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 right through the center (about 5 minutes per batch).
8. Remove each batch of chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.
9. Discard all but around 2 tbsp of oil.
10. Add the peppers, onions, and garlic to the wok and fry for a couple of minutes.
11. Add the chili and firm white parts of the spring onions and fry for a minute longer.
12. Stir in the chicken, then stir in the sugar, oyster sauce, and remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce.
13. Toss in the cashews and the rest of the spring onion.
