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.
