Directions
Prepare the onion, chilies, squash, snow peas, and spring onions. Have all the ingredients on hand, ready to cook.
Heat the peanut oil in a large wok. Cook the onion until browned and starting to crisp. Remove and drain on absorbent paper. Add the garlic, lemongrass paste and chili slices in the wok until fragrant.
Add the squash and stock and stir-fry until just tender, turning all the time. Cook for about 8-10 minutes. Add the snow peas, spring onions and the reserved cooked onion and cook for a further 5 minute. Season to taste with the sugar, soy sauce sauce and lemon juice. Toss carefully to combine and heat through until sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat; toss basil, and cashew nuts through stir-fry until well combined. Accompany with crispy noodles and extra chili.
