2 tbsps vegetable oil

1/4 cup low sodium soya sauce

1/2 cup chicken broth

3-4 tsps minced garlic

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 tbsp hoisin sauce

1 tsp sesame oil

3/4 cup whole unsalted cashews

1 cup shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix

Black sesame seeds to garnish

Toss the chicken with salt, pepper and cornstarch. Heat oil in a wok or skillet to medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook to golden brown then add the cashews. Whisk the soya sauce, broth, minced garlic, brown sugar, hoisin and sesame oil together and pour over the chicken. Cook until sauce has thickened then add the cabbage for about 3 minutes.
