Step 1

In a large bowl, combine first four ingredients; add chicken and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Remove chicken from marinade and reserve marinade. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet. Stir-fry chicken for 2-3 minutes or until it is no longer pink. With a slotted spoon, remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, stir-fry broccoli and carrots for 3 minutes or just until crisp tender. Combine cornstarch, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger and reserved marinade; stir into vegetables. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Stir in cashews and chicken; heat through. Serve over rice.
