A la Cart

  1. 1

    Toast cashews

    Place the cashews in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir constantly for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook onions

    In the same skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent and starting to caramelize, about 4–5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add garlic and ginger

    Add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  4. 4

    Add roasted chilies

    Stir in the roasted chili peppers and cook for 1 minute to bloom their flavor.

  5. 5

    Combine with cashews and sauce

    Return the toasted cashews to the pan. Pour in soy sauce and lime juice. Toss to coat cashews and onions evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes to meld the flavors.

  6. 6

    Season and finish

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm.
