Stir-fried chicken and cashew nuts is one of the most popular dishes among expats in Thailand. And I think this is one of the most ordered menus in Thai restaurants abroad. This is like Thai version of sweet and sour (Hong Kong Style) in Chinese food. This delicious dish is not spicy. #onerecipeonetree
