Make sure prepare your ingredients before starting to cook! This is a fairly fast moving recipe, so you need to have everything ready to go.
Slice chicken into thin pieces, cut your vegetables, smash and mince garlic, peel and mince ginger, and measure everything you need for the sauce.
Combine all of your sauce ingredient's in a measuring cup and whisk to combine. (Note: you may want to heat up the chicken stock for a few seconds in a microwave so that it helps melt brown sugar when mixed.)
Combine chicken with cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl and mix well, until the chicken is evenly coated.
Preheat a wok over medium to medium high heat and add about a tablespoon of the peanut oil.
Sear chopped chili peppers for about 30 seconds, mixing several times so they don't burn. Take them out and set aside.
Add cashews to the work and sear for a minute or so, tossing them a couple of times as well. Take them out and set aside.
Add another tablespoon of oil and sear garlic and ginger for a few seconds. Add in chicken and sear until chicken is almost done, stirring often.
Stir in sliced mushrooms and bell pepper. Stir and let it sauté until it starts to soften.
Stir in chopped bok choy and green onions. Mix to combine and stir in cashews and chili peppers.
Whisk the sauce one more time and pour it over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well, while scraping bottom and sides of the wok (or the pan). Stir slowly and cook until for just a couple more minutes.
Take off heat and serve!
