Dont know the recipe but you can eat it at Chang & Huang @ Dixie/Eglinton. Thai people add all sorts of dry fruit to their chicken and beef. And from personal experience Cashew Chicken made the thai way is pretty delicious. Alot of desis tend to not like it due to the alien combination of tastes, kinda like eating pulao with meetha zarda.

Qrius once posted a recipe in her blog, I bought the cashew to make this recipe, but no need to say that I eat the salty cashew in 2 days without making the dish :bummers:

LOL. Why did you buy the salty ones? I think its better you use plain ones for cooking.

Today is your lucky day! I did write that recipe down. Feel free to send me your duas :D .

Beef with Cashew Nuts

250 g (about 1/2 pound) beef, from the undercut, cut into thin strips, against the grain of the meat

Marinate for one hour in:
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground star anise
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp white vinegar

In a wok, heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil. Add 1 tsp crushed garlic and 1 tsp crushed ginger. Add beef and stir fry. Cover wok with lid, and set over low heat.

In a separate pan, add 1 tbsp oil. Fry cashews with 1/2 tsp of crushed garlic and 1/2 tsp crushed ginger until browned, but do not overcook cashews. Add 3 stalks of green onions that have been cut into long pieces. Add the this nut and onion mixture to the beef. Add 3/4 c. chicken stock that has 2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in it (to make gravy) into to the beef. Heat the dish until the gravy become thick. When serving, sprinkle 1/2 tsp sesame oil over beef and serve with white rice.

Hey I tried this and it turned out pretty good! :) I added bell peppers to the concoction. The only thing I was low on was the gravy so gotta remeber that for next time but otherwise good flavor!
