Directions
Chicken With Cashews, A Chinese type of Chicken with Cashews recipe. I added less peanut oil when I was stir-frying as I thought six tablespoons was a bit to much. used chicken liquid stock instead of water to give the recipe more flavour. use bean sprout instead bamboo shoots (personal taste) however I think you could add any vegetables you wish without dramatically altering the flavour. When I make this again I would add cashews to the wok to allow them to warm a little instead of sprinkling them at the end. The recipe said the yields is four servings but we had small servings for three people. This recipe is from ‘Cooking with Love’ by Friends of Karen, Inc Does not include marinating time., this basic recipe using the homemade version of Hoison sauce was a HIT!!! I had every ingredient except hoison sauce and I looked up a version of it (and definitely basterdized it) used double the amount of soy and added extra of the seasoning to the hoison and extra water. my family loved it! we had NO extras! my husband is not a fan of cashew chicken and he raved about this recipe with my tweeks.. We are having it again tonight., Super tasty and quick! The cornflour in the marindade helps the flavour really stick and also locks in the moistness. Only changes I made to suit what I had on hand was to use baby corn instead of bamboo shoots and a variety of different colours of capsicum. As suggested in the intro I warmed the cashews by putting them in with the vegies at the end, they soaked up a great flavour from the hoisin etc so it’s a really worthwhile step.
