Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 cups minced chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup roasted unsalted cashew nuts
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup white onion
  • 1 cup Thai basil (if unavailable, use normal basil)
  • 3 tablespoons oil (peanut is best)
  • 11/2 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 11/2 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light soya sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon dark soya sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 splash water (optional)

Instruction

  • Mix the sauces in a cup with the sugar - stir to dissolve.
  • Heat a wok or frying pan on medium to high flame for 20 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons oil and swirl the wok/frying pan so that the oil is evenly distributed.
  • Add minced garlic and fry for 10 seconds. Quickly add minced chicken and continue frying until chicken turns white.
  • Pour the sauces into the chicken and mix well. Add the basil and fry for another 30 seconds. If the chicken looks dry, add a splash of water. Throw in the cashew nuts and turn the flame off. Stir the cashew nuts into the chicken.
  • This dish goes well with rice. As an alternative, pop some pita bread into the bread toaster for a couple of minutes. Make a small pocket in the pita and fill with the Chicken and Cashew with Thai Basil. Bon Appetit!
