directions

Remove skin from chicken. Cut into 1 inch cubes.
Prepare the seasoning sauce. Stir together water, sherry, soy sauce, syrup, vinegar, and cornstarch. Blend thoroughly and set aside.
Add oil to wok or large pan. (Sometimes, I only use half the oil and pam, instead). Heat at 375 for about 2 minutes. Add chicken cubes; stir fry for 2 or 3 minutes or until chicken turns completly white.
Make well in center; add peppers and cashews. Stir fry for 12 minutes. Make well in center and add onions, garlic, ginger and red pepper. Stir fry for 1 minute.
Make well in center and add seasoning sauce. Bring to a boil without stirring for 1 minute- cook for an additional minute or until thickened, stirring rest of ingredients in with sauce.
Serve over cooked rice.
