pollo con arachidi


One of my favourite Thai dishes is stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts. In Thai it is called "gai pat met mamuang himmapaan" which is a bit of a mouthful. There seems to be quite a few different recipes as this dish looks different at every restaurant that I go to. Like all the Thai dishes I have been showing you, it is worth experimenting with not only different amounts of ingredients, but also different ingredients altogether. The ingredients we used today can be seen in the picture below. Starting at the top, these are chopped onion, chicken, chopped garlic, crisp-fried spur chili, chopped spring onion, chili jam (nam prik pao) and cashew nuts in the center.
