1 Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in a wok over medium heat. Add the cashews and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until toasted. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a bowl.
2 Heat half the remaining oil in the wok over high heat. Add one-third of the chicken and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a bowl. Repeat in 2 more batches with remaining chicken, reheating wok between each batch.
3 Heat remaining oil in wok over high heat until just smoking. Add shallots, capsicum, snow peas and ginger and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until heated through. Add the chicken, cashews, chilli jam, palm sugar, lime juice and fish sauce and stir-fry for 1 minute or until heated through. Remove from heat; add basil and gently toss. Serve immediately with steamed rice, if desired.
