There were so many wonderful recipes in it, beef rendang, curry puffs, fried chicken wings etc. Such a pity that I did not hold on to it.  Well, to revisit those good old days, I used this recipe from Rasa Malaysia. The kids didn't really like it because of the capsicum or bell pepper in it. But I enjoyed it, and there was more for me to eat! I have adapted the original recipe which you can find here:  Rasa Malaysia Cashew Chicken Chicken & Cashew Nut Stir Fry Serves 4 Ingredients: 2 pieces of skinless chicken breast (cut into cubes) 4-5 slices of ginger 1 small red or green bell pepp...
