I like to eat Thai food this way at home because it makes me feel special. Instead, they hold the fork in their left hand and use it to scoop food onto the spoon held in the right hand, then eat directly off of the spoon. One of the things I shared with her was that Thais never eat directly off of a fork because it is considered “crude” (like eating steak directly off of a knife here in the States). The lovely Nicole over at The Marvelous Misadventures of a Foodie emailed me recently asking about my experiences in Thailand. You might notice the fork and spoon shown in the pictures. Here’s a link to the brand of Sweet Dark Soy Sauce I use and here’s the fish sauce I buy on the regular. You can buy these in any Asian grocery mart, and I can sometimes find it in large supermarkets on the Asian foods aisle. The other kind of “strange” ingredients you need would be Fish Sauce and Sweet Dark Soy Sauce. I’ve taken an adventurous nibble of the peppers from time to time, but I’d caution you to just let them be pretty on your plate and not eat them. It wants to be consumed.ĭon’t be afraid of the dried red peppers – they just add a bit of heat to the sauce then serve as a garnish. I know you can’t see me right now, but I’m making a really pathetic sad face.Īnd now I’m making a happy face because I remembered that I can make this deliciousness at home! Yay! Suffice it to say that it is the single most delicious dish on the planet. We went to this Thai restaurant and I ordered the Thai Chicken with Cashew Nuts on a whim. My life was forever changed!īeing a first-timer, my friend had me order Pad Thai (which I also adore), but my real love affair with Thai food happened during a visit home with another friend. He finally convinced me to go one time when I was really, really hungry and would have eaten anything, and I’m SO glad he did. I’d never had Thai food, and I was not really that interested in trying it. When I was going to university, a good friend kept telling me about this Thai restaurant he was going to and I kept turning my nose up at it. Add a cold glass of Thai Iced Tea and I’m in absolute heaven. Whenever someone asks me what my last meal would be, I don’t even hesitate. Thai Chicken with Cashews is my very, very, very favorite dish of all time. This Thai Cashew Chicken recipe is an easy stir-fry recipe that is so flavorful! This Thai cashew chicken stir fry combines chicken, yellow onion, green onion, dried red chilies, garlic, and toasted cashews for a delicious meal that is ready in 20 minutes.
