Instructions

If using, toast the cashews in dry wok or pan over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes then set aside.
To make the stir fry sauce, simply combine all the ingredients in a small bowl or jug and whisk together.
Slice the chicken and season with the dark soy and five spice. Sprinkle over the cornflour and toss to coat.
Heat half the oil in a wok or pan and fry chicken for 3-4 minutes until just cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.
Add the rest of the oil to the wok and when hot (it will heat very quickly) add the onions and white part of the spring onions to the wok and stir fry 1-2 minutes.
Add the peppers, mushrooms, chilli and garlic and stir fry another 2-3 minutes. Use a high heat - the vegetables should be just beginning to brown.
Add the chicken and cashews back into the wok and pour in sauce, stirring to combine. Cook for a minute to just warm the sauce through.
Serve over rice or noodles and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and the sliced green parts of the spring onion.
