Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 inches. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, 8–10 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Push chicken to the side. Add mushrooms and snap peas to the pan, stir-fry 3 minutes until tender-crisp.

  6. Step 6

    Pour sauce over everything, add cashews, toss until glossy and sauce clings, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.
