Stir-fried Chicken With Cashew Nuts (Gai Pad Med Mamuang)

Gai Pad Med Mamuang is one of the mandatory menu to order whenever a foreign guest(s) accompany me and friends to a lunch or dinner. The dish is sweet and not spicy, pretty mouth-friendly for expats who are not familiar with the hot taste. It's like ..."let's order sth not so hot for the poor guy...what about "Gai Pad Med Mamuang"". Something like that. Anyways!
