I personally enjoy roasted cashew nuts with Asian dishes. The sauce that comes with this dish has a slightly sweet touch but not too dominant so that you still taste the cashew nuts.

What do you need?

2 chicken fillets, cut into strips
60 gr (2 oz) corn starch
120 gr (4 oz) cashew nuts
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 spring onions, chopped
3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons of soy sauce, low sodium
2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
1 teaspoon of sesame oil

How to make it?

Roast your cashew nuts in advance. Put the nuts in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir well so all nuts are covered with oil.

Divide the nuts on a baking tray that you lined with baking paper. Make sure the nuts are in a single layer.

Roast them in the oven at 390°F or 200 °C (30°F or 180 °C hot air) for 15 minutes.

Roll the chicken strips through the corn starch and fry them in a large frying pan with olive oil.

In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and minced garlic. Stir well and add this to the fried chicken. Bake for 1 more minute.

Add the cashews and spring onions.

Serve with jasmine rice.

Bon Appetit!
