Kobe Roux | Springfield, MO Cashew Chicken Sauce

"Cashew Chicken Sauce - Springfield MO Style. If you've ever eaten it, you know it's pretty good. Not very traditional, but it's good. This is a sauce recipe that pays tribute to David Leong's 1963 invention that revolutionized the Springfield, MO dining scene."

  • This sauce is actually as close as I can come to Mr. Lee's Sauce from Oriental Inn in Marshfield, MO. He's made the "BEST" Springfield-Style Cashew Chicken in America since 1982. Period.

  1. Looks fabulous! I consider myself lucky to live where I get to eat this unique and original style of chicken. For variety, try my Ozarks Cashew Chicken recipe on this site. Very similar, but more in line with the original Springfield-style cashew chicken developed by David Leong in 1963 at Leong's Tea House.
     
  2. The one disadvantage to living in FL is no good cashew chicken! I am making this tonight!!
     
  3. Excellent...Just what i was looking for.
