In this post I will show you a simple recipe for Cashew Kai with purple rice – the new superfood from Thailand. The recipe is particularly suitable for a quick after-work meal or a quick lunch. In just 30 minutes you can conjure up a great rice dish here.
Do you have a favorite dish when you go to the Thai restaurant around the corner? Not really me, but I noticed that I always orient myself in the same direction. Most of all I like dishes with lots of vegetables, good rice, a delicious soy sauce and that certain something extra, such as roasted Carew nuts, roasted onions or fresh herbs.
Here I will show you how you can quickly and easily prepare such a cashew kai yourself at home. The specialty here is that this time I used purple rice, which is a kind of whole grain rice from Thailand with a particularly high amount of nutritional values and vitamins.
