Thai Cashew Chicken Stir Fry
Cashews are a favourite in stir fries all across Asia, and the Thai do it best! Really try to use raw cashews if you can, pan roasting them brings out super flavour. But if you only have roasted cashews, that's fine too!
Use as much chilli as you want… or not. Terrific whether it's spicy or mild!

Spicy Thai Cashew Chicken Recipe: How to Make Perfect Stir-Fried Chicken at Home
Indulge in the flavors of Thai Cashew Chicken, a dish that brings together savory chicken, nutty cashews, and a variety of vegetables, all coated in a sweet and savory sauce. Start by preparing bite-sized pieces of chicken breast, or use any cut of chicken that you prefer. Fry cashews in oil until golden brown and add them to the stir-fry along with the vegetables and sauce.
The sauce is a harmonious blend of oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and sometimes fish sauce, to create the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and salty flavors. To elevate the flavor profile, some recipes also include curry powder, chili flakes, garlic, and ginger.
Serve Thai Cashew Chicken over steamed rice or with a side of noodles and garnish it with green onions and cilantro, and sometimes a sprinkle of sesame seeds. It is considered a mild dish, but adjust the level of spiciness to your taste by adjusting the amount of chili used in the recipe or by adding extra chili flakes or paste at the end of cooking.
Not only popular in Thai restaurants, but also a comfort food in Southeast Asian cuisine, Thai Cashew Chicken can be enjoyed in different variations by adding pineapple, mushrooms, or other vegetables to the stir-fry.

Cashew nuts are a great source of potassium and magnesium, and although the fat is healthy fat, it's still fat so consume in moderation (1 handful of nuts per day max ! )
The chili powder and cayenne pepper will boost your metabolism with lots of antioxidants.
I use a curry powder mix with lots of different spices, and it tastes great !
