Make

Heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add first part of cooking oil and then chicken. Saute until chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Set chicken aside and return wok to heat.
Add second part of cooking oil and then bell peppers and kale stems to heated oil. Saute until bell peppers are tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add white parts of green onions (reserve green parts) and saute until fragrant, ~1 minute more.
Add kale leaves, pineapple (portion for stir-fry), and sauce. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and fold in chicken and cashews.
Divide stir-fry between bowls and top with sesame seeds (if using), green parts of green onions, and lime wedges. Finish with hot sauce at the table if you'd like. Enjoy with smoothie on the side!
