Vegetarian Sichuan-Style Kung Pao Chicken with Cashews (宫保素鸡丁)
Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Servings: 2–3
Ingredients
Main Dish:
150g Liang Yi Vegetarian Chicken Slices (长丝片)
40g Cashew nuts, toasted
40g French beans (荷兰豆), trimmed
30g Dried chilies
15g Yellow bell pepper
Cooking oil for stir-frying
Kung Pao Sauce (Sichuan-Style Seasoning):
120g Dark vinegar
2 tsp Sugar
1 tsp Vegetarian mushroom oyster sauce
1 tsp Light soy sauce
1 tsp Dark soy sauce
1/2 tsp Sesame oil
1/2 tsp Cornstarch (dissolved in 1 tbsp water)
Instructions
Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the black vinegar, sugar, mushroom oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch slurry until well combined. Set aside.
Sear the Protein: Heat a wok over medium-high heat with 1–2 tablespoons of oil. Add the Liang Yi Vegetarian Chicken Slices and stir-fry until golden-brown with lightly crisped edges.
Par-cook Vegetables & Nuts: Add the French beans and toasted cashew nuts into the wok. Toss briskly for about 1 minute until fragrant and crisp-tender. Transfer the mixture to a strainer or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Bloom Aromatics: In the same wok (wipe clean or add a splash of fresh oil), add the dried chilies and stir-fry over medium heat until aromatic and slightly darkened. Toss in the yellow bell pepper, then return the seared vegetarian chicken, French beans, and cashews to the wok.
Glaze & Finish: Give the prepared Kung Pao sauce a quick stir and pour it around the perimeter of the wok. Toss rapidly on high heat for 30–45 seconds until the sauce reduces and clings glossy to every piece. Serve hot with steamed white rice.
