This sounds like acid reflux combined with mild food-related irritation, possibly triggered by the cashews or oily outside food, which can explain the throat mucus, chest burn and sore tongue together.
Next Steps
Avoid spicy, oily and acidic foods for a few days, eat smaller meals, and don't lie down right after eating. An antacid can help settle the reflux, but please see a physician if this doesn't improve in another 2 to 3 days or swallowing gets harder.
Health Tips
See a doctor sooner if you develop fever, vomiting, or the tongue ulcer hasn't improved within 2 weeks.
