Stir-Fry Cashew Chicken is easy to make and tastes way better than takeout! This sauce is full of flavor and contains just the right amount of heat.
I have so many different kinds of nuts in my pantry. The main reason for this is because I make a smoothie bowl every weekday morning. The purpose is for my Instagram account, => @nattyspantry <= check me out, and follow me if you haven't followed me yet. You will get 269 smoothie recipes all year long. I love to add cashew nuts in my smoothie bowl as the topping, make some healthy granola with them, or create something good that I am having a craving for. This Stir-Fry Cashew dish is the first answer I think of when I see cashews. This dish is one of the famous in Thai cuisine. However, a lot of Thai food has influence by local Chinese cuisine. This dish is prepared in the Chinese way, I would say similar to Kung Pao, because of the main ingredients made up from the nust, chili, onion, and green onion. But the stir-fry cashew is a little sweeter than Kung Pao, and uses fish sauce for the flavor and taste.
Note for the recipe:
- This recipe requires fish sauce. If you can't find it in your local Asian grocery, you can use oyster sauce or regular soy sauce. Please be sure to add only half of the sauce recipe required for the taste; then you may add more if you need it. As always, thank you for visiting my site and reading my article, Natty
