Cashew Chicken Stir-fry

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"If you are a stir-fry lover, then this is a must try, ...the original recipe did not call for any fresh chopped garlic, the choice is up to you whether you want to add it or not (I prefer this recipe with added garic). Don't leave out the cashew nuts, they seem to bring out extra flavor in this stir-fry dish."

Sorry but this was just way too sweet for our taste.

This recipe was very tasty. THE SAUCE WAS VERY GOOD. Easy to make and only took about 40 mins.

I followed the recipe exactly. It was way too sweet, but it definitely had a nice flavor.

such a simple and beautifully tasting recipe! the sauce is a nice sweet orange affair, and it didn't take me very long to cook this, on a bed of noodles.
