Beef, Cashew and Thai Basil Stir Fry Recipe and Cooking Method

Beef, Cashew and Thai Basil Stir Fry

Beef, Cashew and Thai Basil Stir Fry

This Beef, Cashew and Thai Basil Stir Fry is on par with the taste of most Chinese stir fry’s.

With more of a depth of flavour and slightly more spice (this can be adjusted according to your liking).

The beef is cut thinly and stir-fried quickly and combined together with the cashews, red chilli and a delicious stir-fry sauce.

It is a great healthy meal and when accompanied with rice, it will serve 4 people.

Transfer to a bowl. Repeat in 3 more batches with remaining beef mixture and oil, reheating wok between batches.

Heat the sesame oil in the wok. Add the beef mixture, oyster sauce, chicken stock and choy sum and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until heated through and the choy sum just wilts.
