Mix together the baking soda, cornflour and rice wine in a bowl and stir in the chicken making sure it all gets coated.
Cover with cling film and put the note reminding you to rinse on top.
Marinate the chicken for about 20 minutes. Rinse the chicken and rinse it well - remember you must do this because of the baking soda or you won't be able to eat it.
Dry it well with paper towel and put it back into a clean bowl. Stir in a little soy sauce and a little sesame oil, or vegetable oil. Give it a good stir. Mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl or cup and set aside.
When you're ready to cook, heat up your wok with just a tiny amount of oil and stir fry the chicken until it's almost cooked. Remove and set aside.
Wipe the wok clean and add a tablespoon or two of oil. When it's heated up nicely, add the garlic, onion, and peppers. Stir-fry for a few minutes and then throw in the chilies.
By now it will all smell delicious, put the chicken back in along with the cashew nuts. Stir-fry the chicken for just a minute. Give the sauce mixture you made earlier a stir as the sugar will have sunk to the bottom.
Pour in the sauce stirring all the while. Soon as the chicken is cooked through, throw in the spring onion and serve immediately with some rice.
