Chicken with dried chillies and cashew nuts

600 gm chicken meat, sliced into bite-sized chunks
6 dried chillies, deseeded
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
salt to taste
a handful of roasted cashew nuts

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the dried chillies (be careful! they brown and burn very fast), stir a bit and add the pieces of chicken. When the chicken is almost done, add the dark soy sauce. Stir till chicken is cooked. If the pan gets dry add 1/4 cup water. Add salt to taste. Thicken gravy with the cornstarch and water. Scoop into a serving dish and sprinkle the cashew nuts over the meat. Garnish with spring onions if available.

This dish goes well with plain rice.
