Instructions
Put the chicken, cornflour and soy sauce in a bowl. Stir well and put in the refrigerator for at least an hour before you make the rest of the dish.
Put a little oil in a pan and add the chilli, ginger and garlic. Fry them for about a minute and then add the chicken.
Keep stirring the chicken so it doesn't stick and when it is beginning to brown, add the cola. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 10 minutes.
While the chicken is simmering. Heat a dry frying pan and dry fry the cashews. Keep shaking the pan so they turn over and don't burn.
Add the vegetables and half of the coriander to the pan with the chicken and continue to simmer for about 3 minutes.
Add the cornflour and water mixture and stir to thicken the sauce.
Serve with rice and top with the cashew nuts and the extra coriander leaf.
