Pork stir-fry with lime and cashew nuts
Pork stir-fry with lime and cashew is bright, fast-cooked, and aromatic, typically fish sauce, lime juice, garlic, chilli, and fresh herbs with the cashew adding richness and crunch. The lime acidity is sharp and persistent, the chilli brings moderate heat, the fish sauce adds umami and salt, and the cashew contributes fat and nuttiness. The wine needs to match the lime acidity, stay below the chilli heat threshold, and have enough aromatic character to engage the fish sauce-and-herb complexity without adding tannin or oak.
