This Thai-style stir-fry pairs tender chicken pieces with toasted cashews, crisp bell peppers, and dried chiles in a glossy sauce balanced between sweet, salty, and savory. It comes together quickly over high heat, making it a solid weeknight dinner served over jasmine rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup roasted cashews
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 dried Thai chiles, halved and seeds shaken out
  • 1 onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Method

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and water until the sugar dissolves.

  2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside with the prepared cashews, garlic, chiles, onion, bell pepper, and green onions.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering.

  4. Add the garlic and dried chiles and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  5. Add the chicken and stir-fry until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

  6. Add the onion and bell pepper and stir-fry until just starting to soften, about 3 minutes.

  7. Pour in the sauce mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.

  8. Add the cashews and green onions and stir-fry until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken, about 2 minutes.

  9. Remove from heat and serve immediately over jasmine rice.
