For a richer flavor, use toasted cashews. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preferred level of spice. Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. Ensure your wok or skillet is very hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear. If you don't have fresh ginger, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger can be substituted.
