A stir-fry featuring cashews is a favourite across Asia and this Thai version is one of the best! Unlike Chinese cashew chicken, which is generous with the sauce, the Thai version is a drier stir-fry and the flavour is more intense. Enjoy with crunchy veg and delicious jasmine rice.

As well as your basic cooking tools, you will need...
Pot
Frying Pan or Wok
In a pot, bring 1 1⁄2 cup water and rice to a boil, cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water is absorbed. Keep pot covered and let the rice absorb the water off the heat. Fluff the finished rice with a fork.
Peel and cut onion into large chunks. Cut carrot into half moons. Remove the root from the spring onion and cut into 5cm long lengths (white and green parts). Deseed capsicum and cut into chunks. Pick coriander leaves and chop. Slice chilli. Dice the chicken and toss in cornflour. Mix together oyster/sweet soy, chilli jam (to taste) and 1⁄3 cup water.
Dice chicken and toss in cornflour. Heat a large frying pan or wok over a high heat. Add 3 Tbsp of oil to the pan & when hot add cashews. Toss for 30 seconds-1 minute until golden brown. Remove from the pan & set aside. To the same pan add the chicken pieces and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until golden & cooked through. Remove and set aside with the cashews.
To the same frying pan, add more oil if required. Add in onions, carrots and capsicum, cook for 2 minutes. Add in the spring onions and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. The veg should not be cooked fully, it should still have some bite at this point.
Add the chicken and cashews back to the pan along with chilli (to taste) and half the coriander. Toss with the veg for 30 seconds to warm through. Add sauce to the pan and toss to coat all the ingredients. Cook for a further 1 minute to reduce the liquid to a sticky consistency.
Divide the rice and Thai cashew stir-fry between serving dishes. Garnish with any remaining coriander and chilli. Enjoy!
