You can find this at your local Asian or Thai grocery store or purchase it online. Tamarind Paste: This sour and sweet Thai paste is also known as tamarind concentrate or puree.But boneless and skinless thighs or fillets will work too. Chicken: I used boneless and skinless chicken breasts.(Full ingredient list and amounts are in the recipe card below.) It tastes a BILLION GAZILLION times better than takeout!Ī couple of quick notes on some of the ingredients first.Crunchy, toasty, and creamy cashews add a lovely contrasting texture to the tender chicken pieces and crisp bell peppers.I’ve opted to stir-fry the chicken instead of deep-fry it during the initial chicken cooking stage. It’s slightly healthier than your average takeout cashew chicken.Tamarind paste also adds the perfect hint of tang, and balances out the sweet and salty notes in the sauce. The sauce is DAMN delicious thanks to soy sauce, fish sauce, and oyster sauce bringing their umami game to the wok.The chicken pieces are super tender and flavorful because of a simple 3 ingredient marinade.We’re talking just 30 minutes to whip up, inclusive of prep time. Most importantly, it’s truly delicious with a bowl of warm steamed rice! Why This Recipe Works My version is wonderfully spicy, sweet, salty, and just slightly tangy. The degree of saltiness, spiciness, sourness, and sweetness varies depending on who’s cooking. It’s a classic dish served in Thai restaurants all over the world. There are many versions of Thai Cashew Chicken (known as Gai Pad Med Ma-Muang Himmapan in Thai) out there. An irresistible, lip-smacking tasty garlicky sauce!įriends, this one wok wonder is the perfect quick and easy stir-fry for busy weeknights!.Crisp bell peppers, onion, and spring onion.And I have shamelessly done so all the times that I’ve made it thereafter. I kid you not when I say I licked the dish clean the first time I made this Thai Cashew Chicken.
