This is not only very easy recipe, but also absolutely delicious to eat. Based on an authentic Thai cashew chicken recipe, I’ve made a few tweaks to make it little bit easier to make at the end of a busy day.
If you make everything fresh, you can freeze a portion for later. This recipe serves two people, so if you are a family double up the recipe to make sure there is enough for everyone.
I serve this cashew chicken with jasmin or brown rice, depending on what I have in a cupboard. Or you can also have with a slice of homemade bread, it’s delicious either way!
Hope you enjoy making this one!
