    Love this cashew beef and broccoli stirfry! Delicious!! - 10/27/17

    Had this for dinner last night, threw in a couple of mushrooms and carrot matchsticks that I had in the frig, didn't add many calories, but lots of color. I think these are generous portions, fed 3 & had leftovers for at least 2 or 3. Paired with "foul proof brown rice" search for it - good stuff! - 3/30/11

    I skipped the cashews and cornstarch, used frozen broccoli, and served over brown rice. I added a little honey and black bean sauce at the end for extra texture (since I didn't have cornstarch) and taste. Tasty! - 1/4/09

    Better (and healthier) than takeout. Didn't need to use the cornstarch to thicken. Will definitely make again and again. - 1/28/13

    Have made this a few times...Very good "go to" recipe...Family asks for this dish. - 7/30/12
  • BGERSTENZANG
    A little bland but maybe because I used low sodium soy sauce. I think I would add in more spices at the end. - 11/14/10
  • LIFEWITHALLISON
    Delicious! I used apple juice instead of wine. Also, next time I will use low-sodium soy sauce because regular was a bit too salty. - 9/30/10

    This recipe was very good! I added red peppers (diced) and snow peas to the mix as well and that just amplified it. I will definitely make it again! - 3/2/08
