This version of cashew chicken has just the right combination of flavour and freshness. Its salty and spicy without being overpowering. Need more spice? Add a little more fiery sambal oelek. The crisp greens bring a fresh balance.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Rice Cooker (optional)
Pot
Frying Pan
In a medium pot, bring 11⁄2 cups water to the boil. Stir in the rice, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Cover the pan and let the rice absorb the water off the heat. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.
Tip! Taste the rice, if it is still too firm, add a few more spoonfuls of water.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Trim spring onion ends and cut the white part into 3 cm pieces. Thinly slice green ends, keeping the white and green parts separate. Trim the ends off the broccoli, then cut into bite size florets. Cut pak choy into quarters lengthways. Pat chicken dry with paper towel, then dice into 11⁄2-2 cm pieces.
Heat oil in a large high-sided pan (or pot) over medium heat. When oil is shimmering, add garlic and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken and the sambal oelek (to taste), then cook for 4 minutes.
Tip! We have kept the sambal oelek separate so you can add as much or as little as you and your family like.
Add the broccoli, pak choy, oyster/soy sauce and white spring onion ends to the chicken. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle in cashews and cook for a further minute. Divide rice and cashew chicken between plates and garnish with green spring onion ends. Enjoy!
