"Inspired by some other stir-fry experiments, this is an attempt to recreate a Chinese takeout favorite from a restaurant I no longer live close to. Other veggies can be added as you like."

Ready In
- Whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger, and brown sugar in a bowl.
- Combine 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger, and curry powder in a large, sealable plastic bag and shake to mix. Add the chicken to the bag and toss until well coated.
- Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Cook and stir the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the green onions and bell pepper to the pan, cooking another 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the sauce mixture into the chicken and vegetable mixture; reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish and bring to a boil; allow to boil until the sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add cashews and toss to serve.

I doubled the sauce, but then added sugar snap peas, baby corn, red pepper strips, broccoli water chestnuts and carrots! I ONLY use reduced sodium soy sauce but we thought it was very good!

This recipe was ok. It was easy to make but it was missing something. I probably won't make again.

This was good. It would probably be even better with less soy sauce in the thickening mixture. Makes it too dark and salty. Next time I plan to omit the soy sauce from the thickening mixture ...
