Another recipe 4 you:

Ingredients-

• 1 lb chicken, cut into thin slices .
  
• 1/2 cup cashew nuts .
  
• 2 tbsps oyster sauce .
  
• 1 tbsp chili paste .
  
• 1 tbsp fish sauce .

Process-

Step #1 Roast the cashews at 300F degrees until golden brown.

Step #2 In a wok, over medium heat, saute the garlic & chilis until the garlic is golden & the whole is aromatic, then remove & reserve the chilis & garlic.

Step #3 Add the chicken & all the ingredients except the cashews, stock & wine to the pan & stir fry until the chicken just begins to cook.

Step #4 Add the stock & continue over low heat/flame until the chicken is cooked, then using a slotted spoon remove the chicken from the sauce & set aside.

Step #5 Add the rice wine & reduce the sauce until a slight glaze appears (if necessary add 1 tsp of arrowroot powder, dissolved in a little tepid water).

Step #6 Return the chicken, chilies & garlic to the sauce, & add the cashews.

Step #7 Make sure everything is heated through.

Step #8 Garnish with green onions.

Step #9 If you enjoy vegetables with this, just add onions & carrots (or whatever) with step #3.

Step #10 Also if you want more heat, just add more chilis &/or black pepper.

Step #11 Serve with steamed Jasmine rice.

Thanks, both look good!

I reckon the perfect addition to chicken and cashew (aaprt from the obvious) are large dried red chillies. Roast them a bit in a dry wok as you would smaller chillies when making chilli powder. Then slice them roughlyand stir fry with the rest of your ingredients.
