THAI CASHEW CHICKEN
Serves 4
Directions
- 1Combine the chicken with the white pepper and 2 tsp soy sauce in a large mixing bowl.

- 3Heat the oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan/wok over a medium-high heat for a few minutes.
- 4Once hot, add the cashews and fry until deep golden, keeping an eye on them as they will burn quickly.

- 9Discard all but around 2 tbsp of oil.
- 10Add the peppers, onions, and garlic to the wok and fry for a couple of minutes.
