Directions

In medium bowl combine cornstarch, soy sauce, and egg white, mixing well; add chicken and toss to coat evenly.
Refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 minutes so that coating will adhere to chicken.
In 9-inch skillet combine water and broth mix and bring to a boil; gradually add chicken, stirring gently to separate chicken pieces.
Return mixture to a boil; remove from heat and drain chicken, reserving 1 cup broth.
Set aside chicken and broth.
In same skillet combine oils and heat; add peppers, garlic, and ginger and saute over medium-low heat until peppers are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add broccoli, mushrooms, chicken, and reserved broth to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until ingredients are thoroughly heated and mixture is slightly thickened; serve over rice and top with cashews.
