    1 c Jumbo cashews
    1 1/2 tb Dark soy sauce
    2 tb Red wine vinegar
    2 ts Sugar
    1 ts Roasted sesame oil
    2 tb Peanut oil
    1/2 ts Salt

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and

    Preheat wok over medium heat until hot; pour in peanut
    oil. Add salt and dried chilies; cook until charred

    until fragrant and lightly browned (about 30 seconds).

    Increase heat to high; add bell pepper; stri-fry until
    pepper is seared (30 seconds). Add shrimp, a handful at
    a time; stir until shrimp are pink and feel firm to the
    touch (about 2 minutes total). Add reserved sauce mix;
    toss and stir until sauce thickens to a glaze (about 30
    seconds). Remove wok from heat. Gently stir in reserved
    roasted cashews. Serve hot.

    Serves 4-6 with other dishes.

    Be forewarned: This dish is moderately hot; adjust chilies
    to taste.
