Notes
Soaking raw cashews helps remove a bit of the phytic acid, which in turn - increases the nutrition and digestibility of cashews. Not to mention, it makes for a very creamy cashew. There are a few methods to soaking cashews. Here I used the overnight soak method. How to soak cashews overnight:In a large bowl add your cashews and filtered water (1:3 ratio cashew to water). Cover the bowl and place in fridge for 8 hours, overnight. Drain them, store until you use that day in an airtight container - or start using right away!When heating this sauce in your pan, you may need to add a splash of water, since the heating process releases some moisture
