Steps:

• Chop scallions, separating white and green parts. Pat chicken dry, then cut into 3/4-inch pieces and toss with salt and pepper. Heat a wok or 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over moderately high heat until a drop of water evaporates immediately. Add oil, swirling to coat, then stir-fry chicken until golden in places and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add bell pepper, garlic, ginger, red-pepper flakes, and scallion whites to wok and stir-fry until peppers are just tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Stir together broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar, then stir into vegetables in wok. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cashews, scallion greens, and chicken along with any juices accumulated on plate.

Steps:

• Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender, and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and corn starch in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Mix ginger, garlic, and red pepper into sauce; coat chicken with marinade and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir bell pepper, water chestnuts, broccoli, carrots, and onion until just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and keep warm.
• Remove chicken from marinade, reserving liquid. Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir chicken until slightly pink on the inside, about 2 minutes per side; return vegetables and reserved marinade to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve over rice.

Steps:

• Wash chicken and dice. Mix with marinade. Leave in a cool place for at least 30 minutes. Can be left in the fridge for 2 hours to overnight for deeper favour.
• Cashew nuts - if you have some nice crispy bought nuts (not honey roasted which will be too sweet for the dish), you can save time by using them instead of preparing the nuts according to steps 2 & 3. Bring 100 ml of water to the boil. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of brown sugar (more favour and also a bit of salt will make the nuts more crispy after deep fried / baking). Put in cashew nuts and simmer for 30 minutes (so the salt and sugar not only coat the nuts but deposit inside). Remove and drain.
• Pre-heat an oven (160C for fan-assistant oven, I am not sure the temperature for those without fan, may be 170C). Use an oil brush to grease a baking plate. Put in a teaspoon of oil (oil/butter, though it seems that butter gives a better favour and texture). Pour in the cashew nuts. Keep an eye on the nuts, once there is no more water bubbles evaporates (takes about 30-45 minutes, the nuts would not be crispy with any moisture inside), uses the oil brush to brush all over the nuts. Bake for another 15 minutes or when the nuts become light brown (the colour will become darker when cool). Pour over a piece of kitchen paper on a rack to cool. (It is essential to coat a layer of oil so the nuts can remain crispy much longer after mixing with the sauce. Some people may prefer deep-fry but too much oil is needed while my husband needs to loss weight. You can double the amount and leave half in an air-tight jar for next meal but I don't do it myself as my husband will finish it quickly.).
• Heat a non-stick wok with medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil (2 tablespoons of oil if you use a normal wok). Put in garlic and chilly pepper. Stir fry for a while till you can smell the garlic.
• Add chicken and stir fry till it is done. Take out the chicken and put aside. (Don't worry if the marinade sticks to a normal wok, as the pineapple juice we use later will solve the problem.).
• Put in green pepper, stir fry for 1 - 2 minutess (depending on the hardness of the pepper).
• Put back the chicken and add the red pepper and stir fry. Pour in seasoning and stir fry until the sauce reduces.
• Add the pineapple and mix (so the juice of the pineapple will not come out, as we have used pineapple juice for seasoning already).
• Turn off the heat, add cashew nuts and mix. Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch until chicken is coated; season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Cook half the chicken, tossing often, until browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining oil and chicken to skillet along with the garlic and white parts of scallions. Cook, tossing often, until chicken is browned, about 3 minutes. Return first batch of chicken to pan. Add vinegar; cook until evaporated, about 30 seconds.
• Add hoisin sauce and 1/4 cup water; cook, tossing, until chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in scallion greens and cashews. Serve immediately over white rice, if desired.

• In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, sherry, sesame oil and garlic powder. Pour half into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade. , Discard marinade from chicken. In a wok or large skillet, stir-fry chicken in canola oil for 2-3 minutes or until no longer pink.
