This is really good, but I did substitute the hot sauce with sesame oil and red pepper flakes, we like spice. I also add 2 stalks of chopped celery. The only problem is that there's never any leftovers.

I must have missed something, this was too blah for our family. Very easy to make, but wont be a repeat recipe for us.

Very easy and delicious recipe. I had to add more chicken broth than what the recipe called for. I first used the 2/3 cup, which was not enough to make the sauce (it was more a paste) which then I added gradually a little more at a time to make the sauce (I used the whole can of chicken broth). Other than that followed the directions exactly. I will make again.

Delicious! I added carrots and broccoli, which I think complimented it beautifully.

This was pretty good in terms of the flavour of the sauce, but the water chestnuts did not seem to meld with the dish as well as I had hoped. I mightr try this recipe again but leave out the water chestnuts.

I used sesame oil and used red pepper flakes in place of the hot sauce. I added broccoli and couple tbs. of peanut butter. Good recipe though I felt like it needed some thing to make it a bit sweeter and tangier to fit my tastes. Will make it again and tweak it a little.

I was so impressed with this dish! It tastes just like good take-out cashew chicken and is so simple to make. I used sesame oil and didn't have hot sauce on-hand. It was still delicious but I like a little spice so will be sure to use it next time.

This dish was absolutely delicious! I used fresh ginger, sesame oil instead of vegetable oil, and since I had some vegetables in the fridge that had to be used I added some brocoli, thin sliced carrots and red bell pepper. I rinsed the cashews to cut on the sodium and used reduced sodium soy and chicken broth. Thanks Tricia!!!

Loved this simple, basic Oriental sauce recipe. I added a few extras to make it my own, most of which were recommended by other members. First, I doubled the recipe and instead of the veggies she suggested, I added a bag of frozen Oriental veggies. I substituted red pepper flakes for the hot sauce, added 2 T of peanut butter, 1/2 can pineapple tidbits plus juice, a few drops of sesame oil, and I had chicken that was already cooked. I served it with rice, but I would have been more than happy with just the veggies, sauce, and chicken! Way to go Tricia, this is a new staple at my home!

I must have done something wrong because this was just okay to me. Edible but not wow. I'll stick to take out.

Loved it!! I did everything the same except omitted the green peppers (I'm not a fan of them) and instead added some chopped cabbage. My husband also loved it!! I've made a lot of stir fries before but this was by far our favorite!

This was so good I couldn't stop eating it! Thanks so much for sharing! I modified it to what I had on hand. Didn't have water chestnuts. I substituted slivered almonds, toasted for the cashews since I didn't have any. 4 skinless boneless chicken thighs. Doubled sauce. Omitted hot sauce. Used sweet duck sauce (from dollar store). added 2 TBSP brown sugar Variety of veggies. Baked it in oven (lined with foil). Pan fried the veggies then added it all together when the chicken was cooked. Served it with noodles. Was very good! I will try it with rice next time.

This was probably the best stir-fry I've ever made. I used shredded rotisserie chicken meat and added some minced garlic. I prefer veggies like zucchini, cabbage, and broccoli. Other than that, I didn't adjust the recipe at all. I served it over jasmine rice. Great recipe!
