  1. WARNING - sesame seeds are not suitable for small children who can choke on nuts.
  2. Cut each chicken breast in half lengthways, slice very thinly and place in a bowl. Mix together the cornflour and Chinese five-spice powder. Sprinkle over the chicken and toss well together.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a wok and stir-fry the chicken pieces for 3-5 minutes until cooked and lightly browned. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  4. Add the remaining oil to the pan and quickly stir-fry the cashew nuts until lightly browned. Add the carrots, spring onions and courgette and cook, stirring, for minutes. Stir in the sugar-snap peas and mango slices and cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
  5. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and add the dry sherry and soy sauce. Stir-fry for a further 3-4 minutes, then serve at once with boiled or fried rice or Chinese noodles.
