Air-fryer Gammon Steaks & Garlic Parmesan Fries
Juicy air-fryer gammon steaks served with crispy garlic-Parmesan fries for an easy, high-protein dinner.
Cashew Chicken
This easy cashew chicken is ideal for busy weeknights when you want a quick stir-fry that still feels like a treat. The sauce balances salty, sweet and savoury notes, while the vegetables keep a little bite.
Serve it with steamed rice or noodles for a complete dinner. Use roasted unsalted cashews for best flavour and texture, and add a little chilli if you prefer extra heat.
Method
15m15m30m
- Toss the chicken with cornflour, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, a pinch of salt and black pepper until evenly coated.
- In a bowl, whisk together the remaining soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and chicken stock.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Stir-fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through, then transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan. Stir-fry the onion and red pepper for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Add garlic and ginger, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the chicken to the pan and pour in the sauce. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the sauce bubbles and thickens to coat the chicken.
- Fold through the cashew nuts and most of the spring onions. Cook for 1 minute, taste, and adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.
- Serve hot over steamed rice and finish with the remaining spring onions.
