Finely chop/mince the Garlic and chop the Onion into cubes, then add them to the oil in the pan
Slice up half a Carrot and add into the pan
Chop the Chicken into bite size pieces and add to the pan, heat through ensuring that the Chicken is thoroughly cooked through

Once the Chicken is cooked through, add in the Bamboo Shoots and Water Chestnuts

Stir through some Cornflour Slurry to thicken the sauce, then add a splash of Dark Soy Sauce for a slight colouring
Finally add the Cashew Nuts and stir through (adding the Cashew Nuts at the end ensures that they stay crunchy)
