Chicken Cashew... ^^

Chicken Cashew
Hiii... Everyone...
Look at the picture..... Hmm.... Delicious... 
Do you want it? hehehehe....
So, our topic today is also about chicken. Like I said yesterday, chicken is a simple ingredient to make various dishes. But in this recipe, we will mix the chicken with cashew. Cashew Chicken is a Chinese cuisine.  In Chinese cuisine,  you have to stir-fried the ingredients over HIGH heat to get the flavor from the food.

Yesterday, I also read some news about Chinese cuisine. They use Baking Soda to make any meat (chicken, beef or pork) tender. It is new for me. Because usually I use pressure cooker to tenderize the meat. But, we can always try it....

Ingredients to marinate the chicken:
  • 500gr boneless and skinless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
  • 1tsp baking soda
  • 1tsp corn starch

  • 1tbs soy sauce
  • 3tbs oyster sauce
  • 1tsp sesame oil
  • 100ml water
  • salt and pepper to taste
