Christina's Chinese Chicken and Cashew Stir Fry With Rice

The dish she always ordered when the family went out for Malaysian Chinese. This is the meal Olivia always reached for as a kid whenever her family went out for Malaysian Chinese food. Tender chicken, marinated in soy and ginger, is stir-fried with sweet onions and capsicum in a rich, savoury sauce, then finished with a generous handful of crunchy roasted cashews. Traditionally it's made with plenty of dried chilies, but Olivia's mum's version leans on capsicum instead, keeping the flavour milder without losing any of the depth of the original. Served over fluffy steamed jasmine rice, it's a wholesome, satisfying plate that brings genuine Malaysian Chinese home cooking to your table, not a restaurant reproduction, but the real dish Olivia grew up eating. She recommends a fried egg on the side to round it out properly. Made with ❤️ by Christina
