STIR FRIED CHICKEN WITH CASHEW NUTS

Description:

This dish of tender stir-fried chicken and roasted cashews in garlic sauce tastes just like take-out, only better. You don’t need a wok — just a large nonstick skillet — and, aside from the chicken, the only chopping involves some garlic and scallions. The rest comes out of bottles and jars.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 300 grams chicken breast thinly sliced
  • 1 TBS chopped shallot
  • 1 cup tempura flour
  • 1 cup vegetable or palm oil
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 1 cup of roasted cashew nuts
  • 1 cup spring onions cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 TBS fish sauce
  • 1 TBS oyster sauce
  • ½ TBS soya sauce
  • 1 TBS palm sugar
  • ½ TBS sesame oil
  • 1 TBS dark rum
  • 1 green pepper
  • 1 red pepper cut into 1cm pieces

Method:

  • Toss the chicken in the tempura flour and fry in hot oil until almost golden.
  • Pour oil out of pan.
  • Fry the shallots in a tiny bit of oil over medium heat until golden.
  • Season with fish sauce, oyster sauce, palm sugar, sesame oil and rum.
  • Add the chicken and fry until cooked
  • Add spring onions, cashew nuts and peppers and toss to combine for 1 minute.
  • Serve on a plate.
