Tumis Ayam dan Kacang Mede - Chicken and Cashew Stir Fry
If you love cashew nuts, you are going to love this simple, easy, and super speedy chicken and cashew stir fry. Use toasted cashew nuts for extra crunchiness, or you can always dry toast them in an oven or in a frying pan on low heat until golden brown and fragrant. For stir frying, I love using skinless boneless chicken breast, cut into thin slices and making sure they all have the same thickness. This step is rather important since it ensures the chicken pieces will all cook at the same time, otherwise you either end up with some tough pieces or some undercooked pieces, not exactly a good thing either way. ;)
