Cheap and Cheerful Chinese Chicken

May 17th - Having come back from our holiday in Canada, I'm trying to watch the
pennies so I bought a packet of chicken thighs from the Co-op. Not that I have anything against them, actually they are often more tasty that chicken breast.  I found a recipe for Spicy Chicken Thighs with Cucumber and Cashew Salad that looked straightforward. The chicken thighs were marinated in a mixture of fish sauce, black pepper, crushed garlic, finely chopped red chillie and a little sugar.  They were then fried in a little oil. Cucumber, mint, shredded spring onion and mangetout were dressed with a lime and sugar dressing. The recipe in the book used vermicelli noodles blut I am trying to cut down on the carbs so I left them out. Finally crushed cashew nuts were sprinkled on top.  Very simple, very tasty!
