This is our family recipe. It's not too sweet, and we add a little tamarind juice to balance the sweetness so it's not overwhelming.

Steps

1

Cut all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
2

Marinate the chicken with 1 tablespoon oyster sauce for 10–15 minutes.
3

In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients: soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sugar, tamarind juice, Thai chili paste, fish sauce, and sweet soy sauce. Stir everything together until well combined.
4

Coat the chicken with flour. Meanwhile, heat oil and fry the dried chilies, being careful not to burn them.
5

Fry the chicken until golden and crispy, then set aside.
6

Heat a pan and add 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil (use the same oil from frying the chicken).
7

Add the minced garlic and stir-fry until golden and fragrant.
8

Add the sweet peppers, paprika, and onion. Stir-fry a few times.
9

Add the sauce and mix everything together.
10

Add the chicken and cashew nuts to the pan. Stir to make sure everything is coated with the sauce. Add a little water if it looks too dry.
11

Add the green onions, fried chilies, and black pepper. Turn off the heat, stir a few more times, and serve hot with steamed rice.
