Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast thinly sliced
1 cup cashews unsalted
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic minced
1 cup red bell pepper sliced
1 cup onion sliced
1 cup fresh basil leaves

Sauce Ingredients

3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon chili paste

Instructions

1 In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and chili paste. Set aside.
2 Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add cashews and stir-fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3 In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4 Add sliced chicken to the pan and stir-fry until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes.
5 Add sliced red bell pepper and onion to the pan and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
6 Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
7 Add the toasted cashews and fresh basil leaves to the pan. Stir until the basil is just wilted.
8 Remove from heat and serve immediately with steamed rice.
