Cashew Chicken Noodles with cracked fennel

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh ginger and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the yellow onion in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the cashew chicken, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the garlic along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with a grating of hard cheese right before serving.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
