Chicken With Cashew Nuts

An Asian Favorite

Ingredients

2 halves slice thin chicken brest

1 cup cashew nuts

1 onion chopped coures

3 large dried chillies

5 stocks green onion chopped

1 half each red and green bell pepper chopped

Soy, Fish and Oyster sauce

Tamerine sour soup base

3 cloves of garlic

canola oil

To start slice your chicken very thin. Add to it, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 table spoons of Soy sauce and a pinch of salt. Mix together to coat the chicken and set in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.

To make your sauce in a bowl add 4 Table spoons of Oyster sauce, 4 table spoons of Soy sauce, 1 table spoon of Fish Sauce, 2 to 3 table spoons of sugar, 1/2 to 1 table spoon of sour soup base( note that too much of this will made it very sour ), 1/2 to 1 table spoons of Chilli paste with Soya bean oil and 2 table spoons of water or chicken soup stock, mix all together very well.

Fry up your Cashew nuts and slice dried chillies. Fry the nuts to a light golden brown and only fry the chillies for no more than 1 minute. If you over do them they will be very bitter.

Now lets coat and cook the chicken. Coat the chicken with your flower and fry till golden brown and cooked through. Remember to slice your chicken very thin. To help in slicing it is good to leave it almost frozen. This way you can hold it and still get a nice thin slice about 1/8th of an inch.

To see all of this done , watch the video on Youtube above.

In a hot wok with about 2 table spoons of canola oil fry the chopped garlic, onion and bell peppers. Only cook less than an minute and add the rest of the ingredients except the chopped green onion. Stir all to gether very well and then add the green onion cooking only about 5 seconds longer.
