THAI CASHEW CHICKEN
A wonderfully spicy Thai dish. I created this when I fell in love with a dish at a Thai restaurant. It is very good served over jasmine rice. Fish sauce can be found in any Asian market, or the Asian section of the supermarket.

THAI CASHEW CHICKEN STIR FRY
Recipe video above. Crunchy and creamy cashews are the star in this popular Thai chicken stir fry! Tossed with a bold and savoury Thai stir fry sauce, make this as spicy as you want - or not at all.Thai Cashew Chicken is a dry-style stir fry so there's not a ton of sauce like with Chinese Cashew Chicken. But the flavour in this one is much more intense so you don't need nor do you want more sauce, it will be too salty!SPICINESS: Nice buzz to it from 1/2 a fresh chilli, not blow-your-head-off spicy.

THAI CHICKEN & CASHEWS
One of our favorite recipes - I found it on worldwiderecipes.com back in 1998. It is fairly easy and fast to make - the largest amount of time is in the prep work of chopping, as is the case of most stir-fries. Adjust the spiciness by the number of chili peppers - I have used up to 9. I love using jasmine rice, cut the chicken while partially frozen, and try to pick the chili peppers out before serving (in interest of my 19mo old).

Steps:
- Clean and pat-dry the chicken breasts, then thinly slice into bite-sized pieces. Combine the chicken and sweet dark soy sauce in a large bowl. Mix until the chicken is fully coated in the sauce, then set aside to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Combine the light soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, tamarind paste, brown sugar, corn starch, and water in a measuring cup (for easier pouring) or small bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined, then set aside.
- Prepare/chop the onion, garlic, red chilies, red and yellow bell peppers, and spring onion as indicated in the 'Ingredients' section. Rinse the Thai dried red chilies and pat-dry with a paper towel. Remove the stems and set aside.
- Heat ½ tablespoon of canola oil in a large nonstick wok over medium high-heat. Once hot, add the Thai dried red chilies and sauté for 20-40 seconds until they crisp up and are fragrant. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel lined plate to drain. (No need to wipe out the oil in the wok.)
- Lightly toss the marinated chicken with the all-purpose flour (it will be sticky). Add 1.5 tablespoon of canola oil to the wok and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and quickly spread the pieces out around the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes, stir-frying constantly, until the chicken pieces have cooked through on both sides. (Note: The pieces will be a bit sticky at first, but they will loosen up as you stir-fry in the oil.) Switch off the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer to a clean bowl. Wipe out the wok with a paper towel.
- Heat the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of canola oil in the wok over high heat. Once hot, add the onion, garlic, and red chilies. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add red and yellow bell peppers and toss for 30 seconds to combine.
- Add the cashews and Thai dried red chilies and stir-fry for 30 seconds until everything in the wok is combined well.
- Add the chicken and pour the sauce over everything in the wok. Toss for 1-2 minutes, until everything is coated well in the sauce and it has slightly thickened.
- Add the spring onion and toss through for 20 seconds to combine, then switch off the heat.
- Transfer to a serving bowl/dish and serve with warm steamed rice.
