Instructions
Step 1
Heat oil in a wok over medium heat; add cashews and chiles and cook until cashews are lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cashews and chiles to a bowl.
Step 2
Add garlic to wok and cook until pale golden, about 1 minute. Increase heat to high and add chicken; cook 3-4 minutes or until brown. Add reserved cashews and chiles, the mushrooms, oyster sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, corn, and spring onions and cook until the chicken has cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
