A deliciously tasty succulent yet crispy chicken stir fry made the only way Thais know how. The piquant tamarind sauce that gently coats the chicken explodes with taste while the creamy cashews just meld it all together in your mouth.An amazingly quick and easy dish anyone can make and healthy too with lightly stir fried fresh vegetables. You can buy tamarind pulp to make into tamarind paste. It lasts a long time in the fridge and even longer in the freezer.
Chop the dried chili spur into 1 inch (25mm) pieces. Chop the onion, red pepper, yellow pepper, and spring onions. Set aside.
Cube the chicken breast and mix with the soy sauce. Set aside.
2. Crisp & Cook the Chicken
Heat the oil in a pan until hot. Roll the chicken in the flour then lower into the hot oil. Stir to avoid the chicken from sticking to the pan bottom.
When chicken is a golden brown color, turn the heat off and remove from the pan. Fry the dried chili in the hot oil for a few seconds then put in with the chicken in the sieve and drain.
Stir Fry to Finish
Add cooking oil in a pan and heat until it is hot.
Once hot add the brown onion and cook onion until it goes a little transluscent. Then add fried chicken, chopped peppers and chopped spring/green onion tops.
Then add tamarind sauce, stirring to mix the sauce well and adjusting the sauce thickness with chicken stock as necessary. After stir frying for a few minutes and ready to serve, add in the cashew nuts and stir to coat with the sauce and then serve immediately.
