Directions

Prep 15 minCook 15 min
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles until just tender, adding the broccoli for the last 2 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and hold in cold water to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Lightly crush the cashews, then toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden and fragrant. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Slice the chicken into thin strips and toss with the cornstarch and salt until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisped at the edges and cooked through to 165°F, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, soybean (yellow bean) sauce, rice wine vinegar, and water. Adjust to taste.

  6. 6

    Return the skillet to medium heat. Add sesame oil, scallion whites, garlic, and ginger, and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and pour in the sauce, stirring to coat and simmer briefly.

  7. 7

    Drain the noodles and broccoli well, then add them to the skillet. Toss and heat through until hot and evenly coated.

  8. 8

    Serve topped with the toasted cashews and the scallion greens.
