Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining raw chicken pieces.
Remove all the chicken from the pan. Drain any excess oil, leaving 1 teaspoon of oil in the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds.

Bring the sauce to a simmer. Place the cornstarch in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of cold water and whisk to combine.
Pour the cornstarch into the pan and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute or until the sauce has just thickened.
Place the chicken and cashews in the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
