Gai Pad Med Mamuang Himapan
Thai Chicken with Cashew nuts
Gai Pad Med Mamuang Himapan - Thai Chicken with Cashew nuts - There is a little confusion in the name of the dish: in Thai mamuang is mango, but in the full formal Thai language met mamuang himaphan is a cashew nut; the logic is as follows: himaphan refers to the Brahministic equivalent of the Garden of Eden, and the fruit in which the cashew nut grows is similar to a small mango, hence the cashew is the "mango of paradise". However this leads to one of those delightful double recipes, which is a sort of culinary pun, which the Thais seem to be particularly fond of. To add an element of piquancy to the dish you can include a small amount of shredded mango--it is however quite optional if you prefer to leave it out. The sauce includes honey as a sweetener, again the connotation is of the land of the dawn paradise--but if you prefer you can use sugar (preferably palm sugar), though the sauce won't have quite the same flavour.
