What we're aiming for:
Super fast, simple spicy chicken dish enough for 2 to share with a side of rice

The Components:
- 2 tablespoons oil (we like to use groundnut or sunflower oil for Thai dishes)
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- Large chicken breast, chopped into bite size chunks
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 4 long red chillies, cut into round slices
- 2 heaped tablespoons roasted cashews
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- A fresh lime cut in half to use its juice as a garnish
The Algorithm:
Get your rice started a good bit before starting on the chicken as it only takes a few minutes for the chicken to cook. We recommend pairing this with an aromatic basmati rice, flavoured with some salt, oil and cloves while it cooks.
- In a frying pan or wok, heat the oil and fry the garlic carefully until golden brown.
- Add the chicken, stir and cook until the meat turns opaque.
- Stirring after each addition, add the remaining ingredients and cook until the chicken is cooked through.
Now all you have to do is pop it all into a serving dish, season the rice to your liking and serve!
Put the lime halves on the table for anyone to sprinkle a bit of lime juice on their chicken for even more flavour.
