Move over Chinese takeout. I tried this recipe last night and we loved it. I added three stalks of sliced celery and an 8 ounce can of water chestnuts (chopped) along with the green onions for some extra veggies. And I only used a couple of cloves of garlic rather than six. Next time I make it I think I'll double the hoisin sauce/water mixture to make it a little saucier but I ran out of hoisin last night. I love it when an uncomplicated recipe is so yummy.

Yum. I adore cashew chicken. At least I did before I moved to SW Missouri, and they have a TOTALLY different version - deep fried pieces with some brown sauce, no vegies, icky. So nice to have a recipe for the "real" thing! I'll be putting this on the menu for this week. Thanks!!
Lalycairn...yes, I think you'll like this one better!
I just re-found your blog, and printed off your recipes and am thinking about your laundry soap, so many good tips, I love it!
thanks!

I am so going to try this! I love cashew chicken. And I just realized I posted EXACTLY what the person ahead of me posted! I am so original!
But seriously I have been looking for a new chicken recipe and this may just be it!

It's so funny what your first poster said about the cashew chicken in SW MO. I grew up eating it (called Springfield cashew chicken) and have always loved it! When my favorite Chinese rest. closed, I was lost with out it. WHen I saw this recipe, I thought it was probably the most similar to that dish, and I tried it and LOVED it! It's now going to be a new regular at our house :)
Tonya...so glad you like it!
