The first is chicken. I chose chicken breast because it is one of the easiest cuts in the shape of a cube. If you prefer black meat, use the thighs instead.
After the chicken is diced, marinate with a mixture of oil, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, sugar, salt and cornstarch. You can stay overnight or leave it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
For kumquat, I call it douca and celery. If you've never used a mamameano before, you might think that the best way to remove the mash skin is to use a peeler. But before you pick up your peeler, cut the douca in half. Then, with your fingers, scrape off a small portion of the paper bean and potato peel, then peel it off. You can easily peel the bean potato this way, as long as it's not waxed (some stores do this to extend shelf life). If you have a pull-up version, continue using the peeler. Once your bean potatoes are peeled, rinse with running cold water to remove any dirt.
Zucchini, mushrooms and red bell peppers make the dish appear fuller and add a touch of color to the dish. Cut all the vegetables into cubes the size of chicken. Roasted cashews add crunchiness and a rich nutty flavor. Next, mix water, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic and cornstarch to create a quick and easy sauce. Once all the ingredients are ready, it's time to start stir-frying.
First, stir-fry the chicken in a hot pan. Once the chicken is cooked, remove, reheat the wok and add the mushrooms.
When you cook fresh mushrooms, they release some liquid. Continue cooking until it evaporates.
When this happens, take the mushrooms out, heat the pan again with oil, and add the celery, zucchini, and soyca. After a few minutes of stir-frying, the sweet potato should start to turn a little brown.
Next, add the red bell peppers. Stir-fry and season with a pinch of salt.
Put the cooked mushrooms and chicken back in the pan. Keep stir-frying.
Stir the sauce well before adding it to the wok – you want to make sure the cornstarch in the sauce doesn't sink to the bottom.
Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, then turn off the heat.
Add some cashews and mix everything together. Put it on a plate, put the rest of the cashew nuts on top, and immediately serve it with white rice.
