Directions
Cashew Chicken, A spicy, marinated chicken stir fry. use an ingredient called chili paste found in Asian markets but you could also use something called chili garlic sauce or a Siracha type sauce. Just taste the sauce before adding because they can vary wildly in heat and spice level; adjust to your taste. Serve over plain white rice if desired., Very tasty and forgiving recipe. In the middle of preparing dinner, I discovered I had no red bell pepper, and found a can of diced jalapenos as a substitute; the taste was good, but spicier than we normally eat, and the small green dice didn’t add the same color contrast for presentation. used a 5-qt. All-Clad deep frying skillet, and I had to use more oil for coverage. Even so, the chicken pieces and marinade created a thick crust on the skillet as they sat on high heat for 2 minutes. The crust built up until the sauce was added at the end, but the fond made the sauce very dark. I plan to make this again with 1) a red bell pepper and 2) a nonstick saute pan, and see how that works out. I served this with Recipe #493322 and fruit cocktail (very fortunate relief to the spiciness I created!).
