Takeout Cashew Chicken this dish is simple, ready in for 20 minutes, and packed with taste and so much feel. It is far better than what you’d get in a restaurant.
The chicken is sautéed with sesame oil for depth of flavor before including red bell peppers, broccoli, garlic and edamame. The veggies remain crispy tender and the dish is completed with cashews and an excellent sauce that is made out of rice wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce and ginger.
The heat from the chili garlic sauce leaves the chicken come into life with no too hot and hot. The sauce helps to keep the chicken moist and tender and clings to the vegetables attractively.
I loved how quickly and effortless dinner came up together. Now, this cashew chicken is moving to our normal rotation. No demand for takeout when homemade tastes so great.
