Yes, another Chicken with Cashew dish - this one is a Thai style and there is quiet alot of liquid. Its a very tasty dish, its also quick & simple to make and great served with rice. I sometimes increase the chicken to about 500g and still leave all the other ingredients the same. You can also use less oil if you are using a non-stick pan Ingredients:
300 g chicken breasts, thinly sliced |
120 g cashew nuts |
5 cloves garlic, chopped |
1 onion, sliced into rings |
1 big red chile, sliced |
1 spring onion, slice in approx 6 - 8 cm lenghts |
3 tablespoons peanut oil |
4 tablespoons wine or 4 tablespoons whiskey |
4 tablespoons oyster sauce |
4 tablespoons soy sauce |
4 tablespoons fish sauce |
3 tablespoons palm sugar |
Directions:
1. Put the 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or pan and over a low head add the cashew nuts and keep stirring until they become golden brown in colour.
2. Don't look away as they burn in a flash!
3. Remove from oil and set aside.
4. Using the same pan add the rest of the oil, add the chopped garlic, when golden add the chicken and onion - stir-fry for about 10 minutes.
5. Add all the sauce ingredients to the chicken mixture (a few spoons of water may be added at this stage - if you wish, taste the sauce).
6. Add the cashew nuts, stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
7. Remove from the heat and serve garnished with the sliced chilli and spring onion.
8. Serve with rice.
9. NOTE: You can also prepare this dish using pork or tofu instead of the chicken.
