AUTHENTIC THAI CASHEW CHICKEN

Authentic Thai Cashew Chicken image

I adapted this recipe from a cooking class I took while I stayed in Bangkok. You can adjust the veggies and spiciness to your personal preference and you can substitute firm tofu for chicken. Serve over jasmine rice. Adjust the amount of chili garlic paste for spiciness.
