How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- You should choose pre-packaged chicken breast pieces that have a rosy skin and naturally yellow meat.
- When touching the chicken meat, it should feel dry and have good elasticity, not leaving a dent where you press your finger.
- If you buy skinless chicken breast, observe the fat layer on the chicken. Choose fat that is white for better taste.
- Choose chicken breast pieces with fewer stripes in the meat. The more stripes there are, the less fat and protein there will be. Moreover, these stripes will make it harder for the chicken to absorb spices and sauces during cooking.
- You should not buy chicken breast pieces with bruises or unusual colors, or that smell bad, as these indicate poor quality chicken.
How to choose fresh and delicious celery
- You should choose celery with bright green leaves, tender and light green stalks.
- Celery should have thick stalks and leaves, round and evenly sized stalks, and the bunch should have few roots.
- Avoid buying bunches of celery that are bruised or rotten.
- Do not buy celery that has an unusually plump, pure white stalk because it may have been over-fertilized, which is not good for the body when consumed.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Fresh and delicious carrots will have a deep orange color, bright skin, and the root will be firm and sturdy. The carrot tops should still be green and not wilted.
- Additionally, choose long and slender carrots with few eyes on the body for easier cooking.
- Avoid buying carrots with a foul smell, wilted tops, or bent bodies, as these are old carrots that are difficult to prepare and taste bad.

Where to buy cashews?
- You can buy cashews at fruit nut shops, bakeries, supermarkets, or e-commerce sites nationwide.
- When purchasing, be sure to check the origin and expiration date of the product carefully.

Prepare the chicken breast
To remove the fishy smell from the chicken breast, use a knife to remove the skin, wash it with water, then rub salt evenly on the piece of breast and wash it again with clean water.
Then let it drain or use a clean towel to pat it dry, then slice it thinly.
Marinate the sliced chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, then mix well for the chicken breast to absorb the spices.

Prepare the other ingredients
Crush the garlic, peel it, and then chop it finely.
Remove the leaves from the celery, wash it clean, let it drain, and cut it diagonally into pieces about 1/2 of a finger’s length.
Peel the carrot, wash it clean, and let it drain. Then, cut the carrot diagonally into thin slices.

Stir-fry chicken breast
Place a pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Wait for the oil to heat, then add all the minced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant.
When the garlic is fragrant, add the marinated chicken breast, stir-fry over medium heat for about 5 – 7 minutes until the chicken is cooked and firm, then transfer to a bowl.

Stir-fried vegetables
After scooping the chicken into a bowl, add 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil to the hot pan on the stove. Wait for the oil to heat up, then add all the prepared vegetables including celery and carrots, and stir-fry evenly over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are lightly cooked.
After 5 minutes, add the chicken you just scooped into the bowl and stir-fry it together with the vegetables. Add the cashews that have been peeled, mix the mixture well, adjust the seasoning to taste, turn off the heat, and serve on a plate.
