"When I was first married, I found this recipe in the Woman's Weekly. I used to make it so much because it was so quick and easy and great for unexpected friends who popped in. Everyone loved it. I lost the recipe and only found it again a few weeks ago, and I am going to make this again. I might make a change from pork to chicken and see how it turns out, but have posted the original recipe that I used to make."

I agree with ellie, it was just okay. I didn't have celery or cashews, but I added onions & garlic which always helps, but it wasn't enough to make it very interesting. I would probably not make this again just because it was kind of dull.

This was okay but I felt it needed something to spice it up a bit - maybe some garlic.

Nice quick dinner. I used fresh ginger rather than powdered, and I julienned the carrots and added them after the celery had cooked for 2 minutes. We really enjoyed the cashews with the orange sauce. Made for ZWT 3- Zingo. Thanks Tisme!
