Boil up just under 1⁄2 l of salted water. Cover the rice and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes.
Wash the seedlings, drain. Clean and wash spring onions. Cut the white into rings, the green into longish pieces. Peel and chop the garlic.
Dab meat dry and cut into bite-sized pieces. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan or wok. Fry the meat for 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add spring onions, garlic and possibly sesame oil and fry briefly.
Pour on 4 tablespoons of soy sauce and a good 200 ml of water, bring to the boil. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Roughly chop the cashews. Add the sprouts to the meat and bring to the boil again. Stir starch and a little water until smooth. Thicken the sauce with it and season to taste with about 1 tbsp. soy sauce and a little sugar. Sprinkle with cashew nuts.
Serve with the rice.
