  1. This is a tasty dish and easy to prepare. I will probably leave out the cornstarch next time as I prefer the sauce to be more on the 'runny' side, but that is just a personal preference. You could vary it with other vegetables too, such as baby corn, fresh asparagus, bell peppers and water chestnuts. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. The sauce is highly flavorful and delicious. We really loved it. I added some scallions (cut into about 1/2" pieces) with the other veggies.
     
  3. Thought I would try a different cashew chicken...this was a great recipe...very easy and the sauce was perfect. thanks, I am sure I will be making this often.
     
  4. Very easy and pretty dish when prepared. I also put in the green onions suggested and was glad I did, for a little extra taste. I might cut down on the seasame oil, a little goes a long way. A very nice dinner!
