Honey Cashew Chicken

This recipe sounded sooo tasty...and then I sorta failed a little on the ingredients but tried to make it work anyway.  I'm normally quite the stickler about getting the right things and such, yet I know there is usually wiggle room for substitutions and omissions.  While this was indeed good, it wasn't as amazing as I had hoped.  I plan to try it again sometime with the correct ingredients, and of course I will post that when it happens.  For now, I suggest examining the difference between the original and mine, then decide for yourself :)

Ingredients:

12 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
2 T. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
1 T. canola oil
1 T. sesame oil (I did not have dark on hand like I thought I did)
1 tsp. bottled minced garlic
1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly in strips
1/2 c. lightly salted cashews
1 T. rice vinegar
3 T. honey
2 T. low sodium soy sauce
1/2 T. sambal oelek (again, thought I had sriracha and turn out I did not!)

Instructions:

1. Combine chicken, cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

2. Heat both oils together in a wok (or large skillet) over medium high heat.  Add chicken mixture and cook until no pink is showing, around 5 minutes.

3. Add garlic and bell pepper.  Cook for additional 4-5 minutes.

4. Stir in cashews.

5. Combine vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and sambal oelek in a bowl.  Add mixture to wok and cook for 1 minute.

6. Serve with rice (or preferred side) and enjoy!
