Ingredient List for my Cashew Chicken:
1 pound Chicken Meat (leg portion, boned and skinned.)
1/2 cup Cashew Nut (raw, unsalted)
4 – 6 Thai Long Chili (red and green)
1 or 2 Wax peppers
3 – 4 Thai Long Chili (sun or oven dried mild chilies)
1/2 small Brown or Yellow Onion
2 – 3 Green onion
2 – 3 large cloves Garlic
1/4 cup All purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon White Peppercorns (finely ground white pepper)
2 Tablespoons Oyster Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Light Soy Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dark Sweet Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 cup Vegetable Oil (to deep fry some ingredients)
1/4 cup Water (more or less, as needed)
Directions:
1: Remove the skin and bone from the chicken, and cut it into chunky pieces. Cut the chilies, onion, and green onions, chop the garlic.
2: Deep fry the cashew nuts, the dried chilis, and the chicken. Remove and set aside. Pour the oil out, reserving just one tablespoon.
3: Saute the garlic and onion, then add the sauces and sugar with a little water to make a gravy. Add the fried chicken and stir until coated in the gravy. Fry for 2 minutes.
4: Add the fried cashew nuts and continue coking for a minute, then add the fresh chilies. Stir it up well, cook for 30 seconds, then plate. Serve topped with the fried, dried chili pieces.
