Cashew Chicken with Asparagus & Shiitake Mushrooms

Cashew Chicken with Asparagus & Shiitake Mushrooms / acalculatedwhisk.com
It’s finally spring, which means it’s asparagus time.  I love asparagus, and usually just roast it or dip it raw into some hummus.  This time I decided to change things up and add it to a paleo version of one of my favorite Chinese stir-fries, cashew chicken.  I love the taste of roasted cashews coated in a savory sauce, and crisp asparagus spears add another level of freshness and flavor.  The shiitake mushrooms and a tiny bit of fish sauce give this recipe plenty of umami, which really takes things over the top. (Are you as obsessed with shiitake mushrooms as I am?  You could use any mushroom in a recipe like this, but I find the meaty flavor and tender texture of shiitakes totally irresistible.)

Indochinese Chilli Chicken with Cauliflower Fried Rice
