Thai-style chicken with cashews
Description
Thai cuisine is incredibly colorful and vibrant, somewhat reminiscent of Chinese food, yet it has definitely borrowed something from Indian cuisine as well. The Thai chicken with cashews recipe I'm sharing with you today is, in my opinion, one of the most famous and popular dishes among tourists visiting Thailand. However, this absolutely doesn't mean the dish is simple or ordinary—believe me. Even for me, someone who adores spicy food, this dish was extremely piquant, so beginners should be cautious with the amount of chili pepper used. Overall, this classic Thai chicken with cashews recipe is a true masterpiece; we won't find such an amazing combination of colors, flavors, and aromas anywhere else. I believe everyone should try something like this at least once in their life.
