Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the chicken breast into thin, uniform strips for even cooking.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the salt and sliced chicken to the hot wok, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  4. Stir-fry the chicken for about 2 minutes until it turns opaque and lightly browned.
  5. Add the pea pods, whole button mushrooms, and bamboo shoots to the wok.
  6. Pour in the canned chicken broth, cover the wok, and let the vegetables steam for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Remove the lid and gently stir in the cooked cashew nuts and monosodium glutamate.
  8. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to form a smooth paste, then stir it into the wok to thicken the sauce.
  9. Cook for another minute until the sauce is glossy and coats the ingredients well.
  10. Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional cashews if desired.
