Directions
Restaurant Style Chinese Cashew Chicken, I have had Cashew Chicken all over!…This recipe has the most authentic flavors I have ever tried. My favorite dish, before this recipe, I found on the Hawaiian Islands, in Maui. You will love this one! Better than Hawaii’s., This was a very good version of Cashew Chicken! I saw another recipe on here that called for ketchup, which didn’t sound like it belonged in any Cashew Chicken I’ve ever had, so decided to give this one a try. I’m really glad I did, as this had a very good balance of savory and just a touch of sweet in the back to round out the flavor. Didn’t have any broccoli so I substituted some baby corns and snap peas, but can see where the broccoli would make it even better. Thanks so much for posting this as it is now my gold standard to compare other recipes against. Very delicious!!!
