This is a very common restaurant chicken dish ~ Chicken fried with Cashew Nut. In Cantonese it's called 'Kung Po Kai Ting'. 'Kung Po' means that the dish is a bit spicy with add-on dried chillies and 'Kai Ting' means diced chicken. The capsicum and the cashew nuts make the dish crunchy and this dish pairs very well with a bowl of hot white rice.

Seasoning for chicken cubes
