Thai Cashew Chicken, 'Gai Pad Med Mamuang Himaphan' Buy ingredients for this recipe! One of the more popular dishes on the menu in Thai restaurants in America but also Thailand. This recipe is time-consuming but the result is spot-on perfect. The finest cashews in the world are grown in Thailand, mainly on the island of Phuket. Mamuang himaphan means cashew nut but there is an interesting translation. Himaphan's original meaning refers to the Garden of Eden, and the cashew nut looks like a small mango. The resulting pun can mean "mango of paradise", suggesting culinary heaven. We use regular refined white sugar for simplicity but you may use palm sugar for a more succulent flavor. Ingredients / Method Step 11/2 lb chicken, thinly sliced Toss chicken with tapioca flour, rice wine and Golden Mountain sauce, and marinade for 10 minutes or a bit longer. Ingredients / Method Step 23/4 cup vegetable oil Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until brown and firm, then remove chicken to a plate covered by paper towel. Pour out the oil except for about 3 tablespoons, then fry the whole dried chile until crunchy. Add onion and bell pepper, stir-fry briefly until soft. Remove from heat and transfer to the same plate with chicken. Ingredients / Method Step 32 teaspoons tapioca flour In a small mixing bowl, mix all of the ingredients listed above. Saute this sauce in a wok until it starts to thicken (add a bit more water if it becomes too thick). Add the cooked chicken and other cooked ingredients back into the wok with the sauce. Add cashew nuts, water chestnuts and spring onion. Stir for just a moment then promptly remove from heat. Transfer to serving dish and spoon over steamed jasmine rice. Enjoy! This is one of the best-tasting recipes we feature. User Photos Uhmmm.........
