Not much flavor in this dish. A bit disappointing.

Very good! I used 1 cup of chicken broth, but did not add the cornstarch to that. After cooking the onions, green pepper and chicken (together) in sesame oil, I added in a can of cut baby corn and the water chestnuts. I then added the sauce, which I added some minced garlic to, and allowed that to simmer a few minutes. I then thickened it to where I wanted it w/ a cornstrch/water slurry and added in the cashews. This was delicious and had a nice balance of flavors. Super simple and something that I would def make again! Thanks for sharing. :)

I changed a few things simply because I didn't have all ingredients on hand (subbed hoisin for soy; garlic chili sauce for hot pepper sauce; red pep for green pep) , and added others (scallions)because I needed to use... AND WOW! Absolutely FABULOUS! This is my very favorite Chinese take out and have been wanting to try for years! So glad I found this recipe!!! Will be making this over and over again!

I used MUCH less sesame oil (maybe 2 tsp. total) and omited all the veggies to make it like the cashew chicken at my fave place, so basically just chicken, cashews and water chestnuts. It was fabulous!

Great recipe! I made this for the first time last night and it came out excellent! Here are the changes I made were, added a full cup of chicken broth, 4 T of soy sauce, and sauteed garlic in the oil before cooking the chicken. I also added some baby corn to the veggies and sea salt and black pepper while cooking the chicken. Lastly, I chopped green onion and added before serving.

Good. I added a couple vegetables to increase the healthiness and to suit our tastes. It wasn't spectacular, but it was good. There's certainly a chance we'll use this one again.
