Naked nuts

I usually feel a little awkward dealing with blanched almonds. It's like they're naked. I avert my eyes when tossing them so they don't feel like they're being watched.

This Snow pea, almond & chicken stir-fry worked out quite a treat. Very easy (recipe here). You can't really go wrong with garlic, Chinese five spice, oyster sauce and kacap manis, can you? And the recipe is very pleasing to the eye as well as the tummy.
