Sticky Cashew Chicken with Jasmine Rice and Asian Greens
This sticky cashew chicken definitely tastes as amazing as it sounds. Served on a bed of Jasmine rice and Asian greens, this is a deliciously well-balanced meal.
One of the great things about this chicken dish is how fast it is to make. All you need is 20 to 30 minutes and you can be enjoying this whole meal. Another great thing about this dish is of course the sticky sauce. What better way to eat chicken than to lick your fingers off afterwards? For this yummy sauce you will be needing the following:
Hoison sauce
Soya sauce
Sriracha
Butter beans
Garlic
Ginger
The butter beans might seem like an interesting addition to the sauce, but once it all cooks together, it brings the whole sauce together. With their buttery and savoury taste, the beans add richness to the sauce that will complement the chicken.
And once the chicken is ready to be coated in the sauce, it’s time to add the cashew nuts. Cashew nuts are a great addition to food, especially in dishes with Asian-inspired flavours. And in this recipe it brings flavour and that extra crunch element added to the chicken.
Keep it simple with the sides and let the natural flavours of the Asian greens shine through with a little help from the juice of a lemon.
