Thai chicken and cashew nuts
This is a wonderful thai dish that is very easy to make at home.
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts
200ml chicken stock
2 tbs fish sauce
2 tbs dark soy sauce
1 tsp chilli sauce
1 tbs hoi sin sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
4 cloves garlic
1 thumb sized piece of ginger
1dsp cornflour mixed with a little cold water
1 red pepper
1 handful sugar snap peas
200g cashew nuts
1 spring onion
Method
Cut your chicken into chunks
Grate or finely chop your ginger
Mince or finely chop your garlic
Place these in a bowl and add your fish sauce, chilli sauce, soy sauce, hoi sin, chicken stock and cornflour mixture, let this marinade for at least an hour in the fridge
Chop up your pepper
Finely chop your spring onion
In a pan or hot wok put your sesame oil and your chicken chunks cook until turning golden then add all your sauce (it may look a little funny at this point but stick with it!) allow this to simmer for around ten mins until the sauce reduces and thickens
In a frying pan sauté your red pepper and sugar snap peas for a few mins then add your cashew nuts cook for one min the add to your chicken mixture.
Garnish with your finely sliced spring onion
I served this with coconut rice.
