Very good - 8/28/13

5 stars! Easy to make & VERY tastey. Made a few minor changes: sautee'd veggies first in olive oil (used 1T ), then added the chicken strips to them. Also added 2T of red pepper flakes (we like it hot). Used Worcestshire inst of soy. My DH is on 2nd helping. Have pic,if you want it lmk. YUMMY! - 4/27/10

My husband said this was good, not like the restaurant kind but still good. I am a vegetarian so I have to go by his comments. - 1/6/10

This was very good! Easy to make, great flavor! 11 year old daughter loved it. I am not a celery eater so left that out but put in broccoli and zuchini! Declicious! - 9/15/08

can olive oil be used instead of veg oil? - 9/4/08

Reply from CD3633680 (9/4/08)
you can - but from what I understand from my naturopath you really aren't supposed to cook with olive oil. But there are many opinions on that as there is with everything else :)
Just enjoy the recipe..regardless of what oil you use

KAMIKALIKIMAKA your not going crazy. I don't see them in the list either. lol! But this does sound good and I'm going to have to try it. - 9/4/08

they are also in the ingredients list. 1 cup of dry roasted cashews. I wonder if you are supposed to chop them though? - 9/4/08

I was confused why this was Cashew Chicken if Cashews weren't listed in the ingredients. I see them in the directions though. Sounds tasty. - 9/4/08

not sure how the cashews ended up omitted..but they are supposed to be there. 1 cup - I use whole but I imagine it'd be fine if they were chopped
