2 pounds chicken cutlets, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
2 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil, plus more if needed
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 to 6 scallions, checked and cut into 1-to-2-inch pieces
1/4 cup roasted cashews or dry roasted peanuts
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
pinch of ground black pepper
cooked white rice, for serving, such as Heaven & Earth
1/3 cup Heaven & Earth Coconut Aminos
1/4 cup water
2 to 4 tablespoons Gefen Honey
1 and 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 teaspoon arrowroot starch
2 cloves garlic, minced or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic
Prepare the Kung Pao Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients; set aside.
In a bowl, toss chicken in arrowroot starch until coated.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat two tablespoons oil; add coated chicken cubes. Cook for two to three minutes per side. Transfer to a platter; set aside.
Add additional one to two tablespoons oil to the skillet, as needed. Add red pepper and scallions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pepper is lightly browned. Add nuts; stir for one additional minute.
Return chicken to the skillet; add sauce. Stir to coat chicken in sauce. Cook for three to five minutes, until sauce has thickened. Serve over white rice.
