I grew up in Missouri and went to college in Springfield, MO. I have had Springfield Style Cashew Chicken A LOT! However, you can't find it anywhere outside of the region, and I live in Oregon now. I decided to just make it myself after craving it for many months. I was sooooo excited to find this recipe! I made it for my boyfriend, and his 5 year old daughter. It was so spicy that she couldn't eat it. I've never had spicy cashew chicken before. The white pepper took away from the flavor of the dish. So, I made another batch without the pepper, and it was Great!!! Also, the 4 chicken breasts that I used were big. I would suggest quadrupling the sauce recipe to have enough for all servings.
