Fried Cashews With Lime Zest and Chile image

This is my take on a popular bar snack in Thailand: freshly fried cashews tossed with salt, chiles, scallions, and lime zest. Simple but so good with a beer.

Provided by Pepper Teigen

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for shallow frying
1 cup raw cashews
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Roasted Chile Powder
2 teaspoons grated lime zest

Steps:

  • Fill a small saucepan with 1 inch oil and set over medium heat. Line a plate with paper towels and set it near the stove.
  • When the oil is shimmering-hot, carefully add the cashews and fry, stirring constantly, until light golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Keep in mind: The cashews will continue to cook after being removed from the oil and become a darker shade of brown, so it's best to remove them when they are still a little pale. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cashews to the paper towels to drain.
  • Place the hot cashews in a serving bowl and sprinkle evenly with the salt and brown sugar, tossing to coat. Add the scallions, chile powder, and lime zest and toss once more. Serve warm.
