Freshly ground pepper and a few chilli flakes
1/4 Cup Hoisin Sauce
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Water

METHOD
2 Tablespoons Sesame oil
500 Gr. ground chicken (you can of course use ground turkey or pork)
3-4 Garlic cloves finely minced

1/2 Cup Cashew
2 Green Onions finely minced
1/4 Cup Hoisin Sauce
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Water

PREPARATION
In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil and when it starts to smoke a little pour the ground chicken with the garlic and ginger. Using a wooden spoon, break the meat until fully cooked. While cooking, add the paprika and cook for. minute. Add the sauce with the brocoli and cashew nuts. Cover and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the brocoli is cooked through but still firm to the tooth.
Sprinkle the green onions and serve over Jasmine Rice.
