INGREDIENTS:
500g chicken fillets, sliced into strips
5ml crushed garlic

100g cashew nuts
1 tbsp peanut oil
1 tsp sesame oil
2 red onions, cut into wedges
1 red pepper, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
1 yellow pepper, sliced
4 carrots, sliced
15g coriander
METHOD:
Mix garlic, ginger, lemongrass, oyster sauce and chicken stock together in a bowl.
Heat a large saucepan, dry roast cashews and set aside.
Add peanut and sesame oil to pan and stir fry onions, peppers and carrots for a few minutes.
Add chicken and fry.

Stir through cashew nuts and coriander and serve with rice or noodles.
HELPFUL TIP:
To “stir fry” actually means to “stir your food, then fry it”. Letting your ingredients rest for 30 seconds at a time before stirring them will stop unnecessary burning and will keep your chicken from being poached by the steam.
Have some fun and eat good food.
