Mama taught me two beautiful recipes, a Thai Green curry and the Chinese, but still pretty popular in Thailand, Cashew Nut Chicken. Today I will share with you her Cashew Nut Chicken recipe that I have just made for dinner :-)
It's pretty easy, you just have to make sure you have everything ready, chopped and in hands, before starting to stir fry. The original recipe didn't have capsicum but I thought it was a nice addition.
Remember, when Stir frying always wait for the Wok or skillet to be smoking hot before you start.
