CASHEW NUTS CHICKEN (Gai pad med mamuang)

CASHEW NUTS CHICKEN
(Poulet aux noix de cajou)
– Gai pad med mamuang –


During this lockdown, I do try to travel a little bit with my palate. After a few mouthful we are all transported and it is very good indeed for our mood believe me! It’s in Thailand actually that our taste buds have landed. And it has been a delight especially with vermicelli rice noodles if you can. As usual do not worry as it is extremely easy to prepare! Oh, I forget to tell about the lovely smell in the kitchen as well… So ready to cook? 

Wine pairing : Arbois Savagnin (White) from Jura.
