Cashew Chicken Stir Fry

Thai food. Spicy, limey, peanuty. Yum.

So this isn't exactly Thai, but it's one of the best impersonations I've come across so far...

I modified this recipe from this original source.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup soy aminos
2 tbsp coconut flour
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp peanut butter
sprinkle salt and pepper
2 chicken breasts, cubed
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp olive oil
1-2 cups broccoli
1/2 cup cashews
1/4 tsp hot chili oil
1 tbsp honey
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 eggs

Method:

Mix soy aminos, flour, garlic, peanut butter and salt and pepper in small bowl. Add chicken and mix to coat.

Pour 1 tbsp of both oils in a large skillet. Add chicken and broccoli. Cook and stir until chicken is done. Cover and simmer until broccoli is tender.

Meanwhile, whisk chili oil, honey, vinegar and sesame oil together.

When broccoli is tender, add cashews and chili mixture to pan. While cooking, scramble eggs and add to pan. Cook until eggs are done.

Serve with brown rice, brown rice noodles or quinoa.


Substitutions: IF you are allergic to nuts, or just to cashews, as I know some of you are, you might try adding chopped almonds to this. If you're allergic to peanuts, I'm not sure I can help you, though almond butter might work as well!
