Step 2

Add a tablespoon of olive oil into your wok and place it on medium fire. Fry the onion and the garlic first for approximately 2 minutes and then add the red pepper. Lower the fire and fry the mix for about 10 minutes. Remove the mix from the wok and keep it aside.

Chicken stir fry healthy tip: if you want to limit the amount of olive oil you add, pour the oil into the wok and use a kitchen towel to wipe and spread it, then place the wok on the fire.

Step 3

Add a tablespoon of olive oil in the wok and place it on medium fire again. Fry the chicken, but don’t put too much in the wok in one go. Fry in 2 or 3 rounds if necessary.

Chicken stir fry technique tip: to help the chicken remain tender, put it into the wok when the oil is hot, and then don’t stir for 1 min. After that carefully flip the chicken cubes over a few times until all sides are cooked.

It’s now time to add the rest. With low fire, put the pepper-onion-garlic mix back into the wok, add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to make the chicken stir fry sauce. Finally add the green peas and the cashew nuts. Fry it for a couple of minutes until all the ingredients are hot enough to serve.
