There are certainly many types of cuisines throughout the world. American cuisine, Italian cuisine, French cuisine, the possibilities are endless. However, one of my favourite types of food is Asian cuisine. One of the most popular types of Asian dishes to date is yes, stir-fry. Stir-fry, originating from China is incorporates two types of cooking techniques. Chao and Bao, chao is similar to western style "sauteing" but instead using a wok. Bao is similar to Chao but the wok is heated to a dull red glow, ingredients are cooked consistently with no stopping in between, unlike chao. Today's recipe is one of my favorite recipes to make, inspired by my trips across Asia and from local restaurants around here that also does great catering in London Ontario .

Peanut Sauce

To make the stir-fry, heat your wok over medium heat and add the cashews. Cook the cashews until they are lightly toasted. Remove the cashews from the wok and place it on the side. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in the wok, begin to add chicken and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce into the wok, continue to stir-fry until meat is lightly browned. Remove the chicken and then put on a plate.

Finish stirring and cover the wok with the ingredients for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, uncover the wok and mix in the sauce together to cook. Place cooked rice onto a plate and serve together.  This is a hearty meal that is surely to satisfy anyone's hunger. To add on a spicy alternation, you can choose to cook with 1 red chili that is thinly sliced for a spicy kick.
