Cashews have long appeared in Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese dishes, often added at the end to preserve crunch. Macadamias bring a softer, buttery note to newer recipes.
1. Classic cashew chicken and stir-fries
Toast cashews briefly before adding to wok dishes. Whole W320 or larger grades hold up better than broken pieces that disappear into the sauce.
2. Modern macadamia twists
Crushed macadamias work as crusts for fish or topping for noodle salads with citrus dressing — especially when you want richness without heavy dairy.
