To prepare "Chicken with cashews in Thai" you will need (calculation for 1 portion):

Chicken fillet - 100 grams

Onions - quarter

Garlic - 3 cloves

Baby corn and carrots - 40 grams

Green onions - 40 grams

Cashew nuts - 2 tablespoons

Dried and smoked chili (can be replaced with ground chili) - to taste

Ear mashroom, can be substituted with other mushrooms

Vegetable oil (refined sunflower, corn or any other without a pungent smell) - 1 tablespoon

Refueling:

Thick oyster sauce - 1.5 tablespoons

Fish sauce (you can use soy sauce) - 1 tablespoon

Cane sugar (regular sugar is also fine) - 1 teaspoon

Water - 1/4 cup

We cut the chicken into thin long pieces and start cutting vegetables. The list of ingredients seems overwhelming, but in fact, here are all the vegetables we need for this dish.

It only takes a few minutes to prepare the vegetables. The onion quarter should be cut lengthwise into 2-3 pieces. Chop carrots and corn into small slices.


The mushrooms should not be chopped too finely. Just a few touches with a knife are enough. Cut green onions into long pieces of 3-4 centimeters.


Special spicy taste and the flavor is given to this dish by dried and smoked chili peppers - one of the main ingredients in Thai cuisine. It may not be found in regular supermarkets, but dried chili is certainly sold in exotic food stores online and is inexpensive. In principle, you can do without it by adding regular ground chili or even cayenne pepper to the dish.

Now let's prepare a special sauce - this is the basis of the dish, without which the Thai flavor simply will not work. For the sauce, you need a thick oyster sauce, a liquid sauce will not work, since we need a viscous consistency.

Put the oyster sauce in a small bowl, add there fish sauce(can be replaced with soy) and sugar. Add water and mix everything. This sauce is used in many dishes, including the famous Pad Thai noodles. You can also fry any vegetables and meat with it, it will definitely turn out delicious.
This is how all the ingredients of this dish look like right before frying.

To prepare this dish, you need a wok or just a large, high-sided skillet. Make it medium heat and add oil. Throw the garlic into the pan and fry it for 10-15 seconds. We make a large fire, and as soon as the oil is hot, we throw the chicken into the pan, wait 15 seconds until it grabs with a crust, and then we begin to stir constantly.

Chicken only needs to be fried for a few minutes. So she will have time to reach the condition, but not dry out and remain juicy. Add all vegetables to the chicken, except green onions, as well as nuts and sauce. Fry over high heat for 20 seconds, and then reduce the heat.

This is where you need to try the dish. It should be sweet and salty at the same time, very harmonious in taste. If you don't have enough salt, add fish (soy) sauce, if not sweet enough, add sugar. The dish is ready when the water evaporates and the sauce thickens again. Vegetables should remain crispy, not soft.

After removing the pan from the heat, add green onions and stir. The dish is ready, you can put it on a plate and serve. Remember that Stir Fry Thai food is prepared in small portions, and is not refrigerated or reheated the next day.

Chicken with cashew nuts is a complete main course. The delicacy is eaten without a side dish or with rice.

Thai chicken with noodles

The traditional side dish in Thai recipes is usually noodles or rice. Homemade egg or rice noodles are taken. At home, we suggest not to cook the noodles, but to replace it with a purchased version.

Well, here we got to our favorite Thai cuisine. Cashew Thai Chicken is one of the many recipes that came to Thailand from China. Originally the dish is called "Gai Pad Med Mamuang Himaphan". Recipe fried chicken with cashew nuts is very popular not only in many Thai restaurants, but almost all over the world. This is a very simple dish that does not require special culinary skills from you, but it can quite conquer your heart with its spicy aroma, mild pungency and indescribable texture.

First, let's take a look at the ingredients.

We all know perfectly well that the world's best cashews are grown in Thailand, mainly on the island of Phuket. Mamuang himaphan just means cashews, but this is often associated with the main confusion, since the translation of Himaphan is an analogy to the Garden of Eden, and cashews in unpeeled form resemble small mangoes, therefore, in literal translation, cashews are "Paradise mango", which in Russian can be translated as "Paradise taste" or "Culinary heaven". Here's a culinary pun :-)

For cooking we need these same "Paradise mango", that is, cashews. If it is problematic to buy raw nuts, then it is quite possible to get by with ready-made fried (naturally, not salted), only in this case, they will not need to be pre-fried, but simply added at the end of cooking.

In addition to cashews, I recommend paying attention to hot peppers, which we will use for our dish. It should be spicy, but should not have a pronounced, dominant taste, bitterness. In the original, several varieties of hot peppers should be added. Use either small chili peppers or your favorite proven strain already ground pepper in flakes, then you can appreciate this pungency and taste.

Chopped chicken fillets can be breaded in flour or tempura mix before frying. This will keep the chicken juicier and give it extra flavor. This time we cooked for hastily, so we did not use breading, and in general we simplified the recipe a little, but in the near future we will fix it and share photos of cashew chicken cooked according to all the rules of Thai cuisine.

It turns out to be very satisfying and spicy!

In China, it is called Chicken Kung Pao (or, in another transcription, Gongbao) - this is one of the signature dishes of Sichuan cuisine.

What is the main difference between Kung Pao chicken and Thai recipe? First of all, Thais don't use starch for breading. chicken pieces... Also in Thailand, Sichuan pepper, which is mandatory for Kung Pao in China, is not added to this dish. Instead of Chinese peanuts, the Thais began to put cashews (and the dish, I think, benefited a lot from this!). And of course, the Chinese use their basic seasonings, and the Thais use theirs. In China it is cook's wine and sesame oil, and in Thailand it is fish sauce and palm sugar. The result is a seemingly similar to the original, but still definitely a Thai dish.

A couple of notes on ingredients: We need cashews raw and unsalted, but if we can't find any, the standard "bagged" ones will do. The main thing is without flavorings, just with salt. There is still chili in this dish (where can we go without it!), But in dried form. Dried large sweet chili gives the dish its flavor, but not the pungency. Palm sugar can be replaced with cane or refined sugar. Shiitake mushrooms look good in this stir-fry, although they give a more Chinese touch.

So, for cooking chicken fried in Thai with cashew nuts, we need:

  • Chicken breast: 300 gr
  • Cashew nuts: 100 gr
  • Garlic: 3-4 cloves
  • Sweet onions: 1 medium onion
  • Green onions: 1 bunch
  • Dried chili peppers (sweet): 5 pcs
  • Sweet (Bulgarian) pepper: 1 pc
  • Oyster sauce: 2 tablespoons
  • Palm sugar: 1 tablespoon
  • Soy sauce: 1 teaspoon
  • Fish sauce: 1 teaspoon
  • Vegetable oil
