CREAMY CASHEW CHICKEN CURRY



Creamy Cashew Chicken Curry image

Mooove over, real cream - this curry is made rich and creamy with (cow-free) cashew cream, which is remarkably similar to heavy cream in appearance, taste, and in-sauce behavior. In fact, cashew cream actually thickens up faster. You won't need anything too exotic, besides maybe garam masala, to make this straightforward recipe. Garnish with whole cashews, lime wedges, and cilantro. Serve with rice, garlic naan, or both!

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Indian

Time 4h50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 yellow onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups cold water
¾ cup whole roasted cashews
⅓ cup sliced green onions
⅓ cup freshly chopped cilantro
1 lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Mix salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, cayenne, turmeric, and garam masala together in a small bowl.
  • Cut a chicken thigh in half lengthwise along the crease. Halve the thicker portion to end up with three 2-inch pieces. Repeat with remaining chicken thighs.
  • Transfer chicken to a bowl. Add oil and about 1/2 of the spice blend; mix thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the fridge for 4 to 12 hours.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large pan over high heat until melted and golden brown. Add the chicken in a single layer. Cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Return chicken and accumulated juices to the bowl.
  • Heat remaining butter in the same pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, remaining spice blend, tomato paste, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices.
  • Combine water and cashews in a blender; blend on high speed until very smooth. Stir cashew cream into the pan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors blend, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in green onions and cilantro; taste for seasoning. Squeeze in lime juice.

THAI CASHEW CHICKEN



Thai Cashew Chicken image

A wonderfully spicy Thai dish. I created this when I fell in love with a dish at a Thai restaurant. It is very good served over jasmine rice. Fish sauce can be found in any Asian market, or the Asian section of the supermarket.

Provided by SKOALZ

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Thai

Time 3h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup fish sauce
1 ½ tablespoons hot pepper sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into thin strips
1 cup dry jasmine rice
2 cups water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 small onion, quartered then sliced
¾ cup water
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 cup unsalted cashew nuts

Steps:

  • In a resealable plastic bag, mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, hot pepper sauce, garlic, and ginger. Place the chicken in the bag, seal, and marinate at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the jasmine rice and 2 cups water to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
  • Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Stir in the onion, and cook about 5 minutes, until tender. Reserving the marinade mixture, place the chicken into the skillet, and cook about 10 minutes, until browned.

CASHEW CHICKEN



Cashew chicken image

Tender pieces of chicken breast are stir-fried with crunchy, sweet cashew nuts in this classic Chinese dish

Provided by Ken Hom

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

450g boneless, skinless chicken breasts , cut into large chunks
1 egg white
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tsp cornflour
300ml groundnut oil or water, plus 2 tsp groundnut oil
100g cashew nuts
1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine or dry Sherry
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 shredded spring onion , to garnish

Steps:

  • Put the chicken in a bowl with the egg white, sesame oil, cornflour and 1 tsp salt, and mix well. Chill for 20 mins.
  • If you are using oil for velveting the chicken, heat a wok until very hot and then add the oil. When it is very hot, remove the wok from the heat and immediately add the chicken, stirring vigorously to prevent it sticking. After about 2 mins, when the chicken turns white, quickly drain it and all of the oil into a stainless steel colander set over a bowl. Discard the oil. If you are using water instead of oil, do exactly the same but bring the water to the boil in a saucepan before adding the chicken. It will take about 4 mins for the chicken to turn white in the water.
  • If you have used a wok, wipe it clean. Heat it until it is very hot, then add the 2 tsp of groundnut oil. Add the cashew nuts and stir-fry for 1 min. Add the rice wine or dry Sherry and soy sauce. Return the chicken to the wok and stir-fry for 2 mins. Scatter over the spring onions and serve immediately.

Provided by Chris Morocco

Categories     Chicken     Oyster     Vinegar     Soy Sauce     Cashew     Green Bean     Onion     Garlic     Ginger     Kid-Friendly     Small Plates     Quick & Easy     Quick and Healthy     One-Pot Meal     Peanut Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 Tbsp. oyster sauce
1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. light brown sugar
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/3 cup raw cashews
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (12-16 oz. total)
Kosher salt
1 tsp. cornstarch
12 oz. green beans, trimmed, halved crosswise
1/2 red onion, sliced 1/2" thick
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 1" piece ginger, peeled, very thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Combine oyster sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add cashews and tilt skillet toward you so that the oil pools around cashews. Toast cashews, tossing and spooning oil over constantly, until cashews are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer cashews to a small plate and let cool, reserving oil in skillet.
  • Cut chicken into 1/2"-thick slices. If any slices are longer than 2", cut in half crosswise. Season chicken with salt and coat with cornstarch, tossing chicken to evenly distribute cornstarch. Increase heat to medium-high and cook chicken in a single layer in same skillet, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until other side is just opaque, about 1 minute. Transfer chicken to a plate (it won't be totally cooked through; don't worry as it will finish cooking in the sauce).
  • Cook beans and onion in same skillet, tossing often, until beginning to soften and brown in spots, about 4 minutes. Add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil followed by garlic and ginger. Cook, tossing often, until garlic and ginger are softened, about 1 minute longer. Add reserved sauce and return chicken to skillet. Cook, stirring often, until sauce is glazy and coats chicken and vegetables, and the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer chicken and vegetables to a platter. Spoon sauce over. Top with toasted cashews.

CASHEW CHICKEN



Cashew Chicken image

Cashew chicken dishes have long been a classic of American Chinese cuisine. But Andrew Chiou and Tim Ma, the co-owners of Lucky Danger in Washington, D.C., have noticed it fading from menus in the area. According to Mr. Chiou, the dish is all about textural contrast: the crisp, battered chicken that's been tossed in a thin, sweet-and-savory sauce; crisp-tender vegetables like celery, as well as softer straw mushrooms; and, of course, the satisfying crunch of cashews. Their version is similar to the famous, deep-fried cashew chicken dish popularized by the chef David Leong in Springfield, Mo., in the 1960s. Enjoy it alongside other dishes as part of a multicourse meal, or just with steamed rice.

Categories     dinner, lunch, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups canola or peanut oil
1/2 yellow onion, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
1 small carrot, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 celery stalk, cut into 1-inch dice
4 ounces (drained) canned whole water chestnuts or peeled jicama, cut into ½-inch dice
2 ounces (drained) canned whole straw mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced rehydrated garlic (or 4 fresh garlic cloves, minced)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 cup whole roasted cashews
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 pinch MSG (optional), such as Aji-No-Moto brand seasoning
Steamed rice (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, batter ingredients and 2 tablespoons water. Mix them by hand until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • In a separate medium bowl, sift together the breading ingredients.
  • Working with one piece of chicken at a time, drop each battered piece into the breading and lightly toss it to coat. (Do not press the breading onto the chicken.) Shake the excess breading off, then place the breaded chicken onto a wire rack-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
  • Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet to 325 degrees. Gently drop the chicken into the oil one piece at a time, spacing them out evenly. Let them fry, undisturbed, for 7 to 8 minutes, until the pieces are deeply golden brown, then remove them with a spider or slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined tray to drain.
  • Turn off the heat and carefully pour out oil into a heatproof container or pot to discard once it cools. Carefully scrape out any specks from the wok or pan with a paper towel held by tongs. Do not rinse the wok.
  • Heat the wok over medium-high. Add the onion, carrot, celery, water chestnuts, mushrooms and garlic. Stir-fry until the garlic and celery become aromatic, about 2 minutes.
  • Push the vegetables to one side of the wok. Add the sugar to the center of the wok and don't stir it for several seconds, to encourage it to caramelize a little. Then add the soy sauce and oyster sauce, and stir until the sugar has dissolved into the liquids. Toss the vegetables into the sauce. Let the sauce come up to a full boil and stir occasionally for 2 minutes, allowing it to slightly reduce and thicken.
  • Stir in the fried chicken and cashews. Give the cornstarch-slurry a stir and add it to the sauce, stirring as it thickens. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in the sesame oil and MSG (if using), and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with rice, if desired.

CHICKEN WITH CASHEWS



Chicken With Cashews image

A Chinese type of Chicken with Cashews recipe. I added less peanut oil when I was stir-frying as I thought six tablespoons was a bit to much. I used chicken liquid stock instead of water to give the recipe more flavour. I use bean sprout instead bamboo shoots (personal taste) however I think you could add any vegetables you wish without dramatically altering the flavour. When I make this again I would add cashews to the wok to allow them to warm a little instead of sprinkling them at the end. The recipe said the yields is four servings but we had small servings for three people. This recipe is from 'Cooking with Love' by Friends of Karen, Inc Does not include marinating time.
