Instructions: Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the vegetable oil while the rice is cooking. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sliced chillis and minced garlic are fragrant, in the skillet. In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, cornstarch, and water. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens, in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the cashews are heated through. Over cooked rice, serve the cashew chicken.
