Stir-fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts

Alway wanted to cook chicken with cashew nuts, saw this recipe and did it. It tasted good. Ingredients:

1 chicken breast (remove skin and cut into slices)
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp light soya sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
cooking oil
large onion (slices)
spring onion (cut into 1 1/2 inches)
pinch of salt
1 packet of salted cashew nuts
1 1/2 tbsp Lee Kum Kee hoisin sauce (or to taste)

Method:
1. Remove the skin from chicken breast. Cut chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
2. Mix chicken with sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil. Leave to marinate for at least one hour.*
3. Heat up cooking oil in a wok. The amount of oil has to be enough to cover all the chicken pieces.
4. When the oil starts to smoke, scald the chicken in the hot oil, turning occasionally to make sure the chicken pieces are evenly cooked.
5. Don't overcook the chicken. When they are done, remove from the wok. Drain to remove the excess oil and meat juice.
6. Remove the oil from the wok, leaving about just one tablespoon of oil. Stir-fry onion, with a pinch of salt, for 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.
7. Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Add the hoisin sauce, and toss to mix evenly. Add the onion, and toss again. Before turning off the fire, add the cashew nuts and spring onion. Quickly toss to mix evenly.

Serve hot.
