Today i have a Thai recipe to share. You may recall seeing this at your local Thai establishment as Chicken with Cashew Nuts. Its pretty good with chicken, but i find it much easier to keep Tofu in my fridge, as it has quite a longer shelf life. It's a pretty good substitute if you fry it up first. Feel free to use chicken if you want for the original version.
Here's what you'll need to make it the tofu way:
Half a Block of Tofu (cubed, and fried until golden and crispy)
2 tbspns of Cashew nuts (lightly fried)
1/2 an onion (sliced in moon slivers)
2-3 dried red chillies
2 cloves garlic
cherry tomatoes (optional)
