Cut the chicken and mix it into the paste. Leave in the fridge for a little while to let the paste flavour the chicken.<\/li>\n<li>Heat some oil in a wok. Soften up some chopped red peppers and add the chicken. Move it about a bit, then add a dab of chilli bean paste and a dash of kecap manis &#8211; not too much as you don&#8217;t want to darken the colour of the dish. Add a couple of stalks of lemon grass. Season with a little salt and white pepper.<\/li>\n<li>Add chopped garlic shoots and the cashew nuts. Throw it about a bit for another minute or so. For a saucier dish, you can add half a cup of chicken stock before this step.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the lemon grass stalks. Turn off the heat and scatter over some roughly-torn basil leaves. Don&#8217;t let the basil &#8220;cook&#8221; as it will go dark and look rubbish.<\/li>\n<li>Plate up, squeeze over a little of the lime and serve. Optionally drizzle some chilli oil for a bit more fire \/ colour.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p> <\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a clean-tasting Thai-influenced dish that isn&#8217;t too spicy and has lots of texture, with the moist chicken and crunchy cashew nuts.
