CHINESE PINEAPPLE CHICKEN WITH CASHEW NUTS, GINGER, SPRING ONION



Chinese Pineapple Chicken With Cashew Nuts, Ginger, Spring Onion image

This is sure to satisfy all your cravings for Chinese food, it's a great recipe. Be brave with the ginger, it mellows out as it cooks and is helped along by the sweetness of the dish. The cashew nuts are optional but I am yet to make it without them as I love their crunchy texture and creamy taste. Be sure to serve it with plenty of white fluffy rice. Quicker than waiting for takeout. UPDATE - I HAVE DECREASED THE AMOUNT OF WATER USED IN THE SAUCE FROM 1/2PT TO 1/4 PINT BUT I FIND IT DOES TEND TO GET A BIT TOO THICK AND NEEDS A DROP OR 2 MORE. USE YOUR SENSES, IF YOU THINK IT NEEDS IT THEN ADD IT! ADDING FROZEN VEGGIES WILL WATER THE SAUCE DOWN CONSIDERABLY. THIS PARTICULAR RECIPE DOES NOT ADHERE MUCH TO TWEAKING AND I SUGGEST YOU TRY IT AS STATED BELOW FIRST. THANK YOU

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger adds a bright, zesty flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can use ground ginger, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Cashew chicken is a quick-cooking dish, so it's important not to overcook the chicken. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
  • Add the cashews at the end: Cashews are added at the very end of the cooking process to prevent them from becoming overcooked and losing their crunch.
  • Serve over rice: Cashew chicken is traditionally served over rice. This helps to soak up the delicious sauce and make the dish more filling.

Conclusion:

Cashew chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. With its tender chicken, crunchy cashews, and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is a great option for a tasty and satisfying meal. So, gather your ingredients, follow the recipe, and enjoy your homemade cashew chicken!
