# Étapes de réalisation:

01 - In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, warm water, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and Sriracha. Whisk until fully blended and set aside.
02 - Place the chicken pieces in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly, then add the cornstarch and mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
03 - Heat avocado oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and stir fry for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
04 - In the same skillet, add green onions, garlic, and ginger. Sauté over medium heat until aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add the chopped red bell pepper and celery and cook for a further 3 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
05 - Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add roasted cashews and the prepared sauce. Stir fry for 2 minutes until the chicken and vegetables are thoroughly coated and heated through.
06 - Ladle the cashew chicken over steamed rice if desired, and garnish with extra green onions.

# Détails supplémentaires:

01 - For best results, use high-quality roasted cashews and ensure the chicken is cut into uniform pieces for even cooking.
02 - Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwaved with a splash of water if necessary.
