Hoisin-cashew Chicken & Rice
with piquanté peppers & green beans
If you’re not familiar with hoisin sauce yet, get ready for a very pleasant introduction, Chef! Slightly similar to barbeque sauce, but richer, saltier, and less sweet, this fermented soybean-based sauce packs an umami punch. You will savour this sauce once poured over NOMU Oriental Rub-spiced chicken, charred green beans, and a cashew & sesame seed nut mix. Served with steamed basmati rice.
