How to Make Cashew Chicken Breast in Jar Cooking
Wash and slice the green part of the scallions, peel the garlic clove, chop it, and put everything in the small bowl. Add the grated ginger and olive oil, mix and brown in the microwave for 1 minute at maximum power.
In the meantime, cut the chicken breast into large cubes, coat them lightly with flour and mix. Put the chicken breast in the jar and add the browned mixture, cashews, and soy sauce, and mix well. Clean the rim of the jar, close it, and clip it.
Set the microwave to your tested power (I use 600 watts), place the jar inside, and start cooking for 5 minutes. When finished, protect your hands with a glove, shake the jar to mix the contents. Let the closed jar rest for 20 minutes to complete and create the vacuum. Once at room temperature, you can store it in the fridge or open it as per the instructions and serve it.
