CHICKEN STIR FRY WITH CASHEW NUTS

February 2, 2013 By Manu 4 Comments

Chicken Stir fry with Cashews nuts

I have a thing for Thai food.  I confess.  And of all Thai food, chicken with cashew nuts is my absolute favourite.  I still remember the first time I ate it: I was on holiday in Port Douglas with my husband and that’s where I had my first meal in a “real” Thai restaurant.  For all my non-Aussie readers, Port Douglas is a beautiful little town in Tropical North Queensland, a great place to stay to explore the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest.  It is one of the places in Australia that I like the most and can’t wait to go back with my girls.  But I digress.  Back to the stir fry.  I like it so much, that I often order it when I eat Thai food.  So, I thought of adding it to my “recreate at home list”… It took me a few attempts to get it right just like the one from the restaurant, but I finally made it!  This recipe is clearly worth sharing.  I adapted it from my friend Tes from Tes at Home, who is Thai (so I knew I could not go wrong!), and added my choice of veggies to it: carrots, broccoli, onions and spring onions.  I am pleased to say that my girls also enjoy this dish as much as my husband and I do, veggies included.  I hope you like it too!  Enjoy!

    Cashew chicken is always my favorite next to Kung Pao Chicken. Yours is so irresistably delicious and my mouth is watering looking at those chunks of chicken. Have a good week, Manu!
