Directions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water using a colander, then drain and transfer it to a small saucepan. Add water and salt, then bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, stir, cover, and turn the heat to low. Let the rice cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 15–18 minutes, then keep it covered off the heat for 5 minutes.
- Wash and dry the bell pepper, trim and seed it, and cut into medium pieces. In a separate medium bowl, combine the peppers with broccoli and mushrooms and set aside.
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over high heat.
- Pat the chicken thighs dry, cut into bite-sized pieces, and lightly dust with cornstarch and salt on both sides.
- When the skillet is hot, drizzle in oil to coat the bottom, add the chicken, and cook until golden and nearly cooked through, 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the vegetables to the skillet, cover, and cook until just tender, about 4–5 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- On a clean cutting board, roughly chop the cashews.
- Stir in the stir-fry sauce and cook until heated through, 1–2 minutes more. Remove from heat and keep covered.
- To serve, divide the rice and the stir-fry between bowls and sprinkle with cashews.
Two tips
- Prep the vegetables ahead of time and store in a covered container for a quicker weeknight stir-fry.
- If you have leftover rice, reheat gently and toss with a splash of water to loosen.
