A simple stir-fry with chicken and cashews.

Today we have prepared a very simple stir-fry with chicken and cashew nuts. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and makes enough for 4 servings. 

And what does stir-fry actually mean?

Stir-fry is a very old Chinese cooking technique that first appeared around 200 BC. Stir-frying involves frying food in a wok with a small amount of oil at a very high temperature. This allows the meat, tofu, fish or vegetables to cook quickly, leaving them juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Most stir-fry dishes are served with rice or rice noodles.
