Well, over the years, I’ve very much known now that cashew apples are not only edible, but they are very nutritious as well. I still don’t like it though. I don’t like cashew apples, but I absolutely love cashew nuts. Cashew nuts are a great addition to baked goods, desserts and even savory dishes. My favorite recipes using cashew nuts are Cashew Nut Rice with Mushroom and Stir Fried Chicken with Cashew Nuts.
Today I made Prawn and Cashew Nuts in Thai Sweet Chili Paste. Nam Prik Poa or Thai Sweet Chili Paste are good as dip or stir frying ingredient. It’s sweet, smoky but not too spicy. I fried cashew nuts until golden brown to add the nuttiness and crunchy texture to this delightful dish. Prawn and Cashew Nuts in Thai Sweet Chili Paste is perfect to accompany drinks or it can be served with hot rice.
