I really, really love Chinese food. Any Asian food, actually, but especially take-out Chinese. It gives me the same comforting feeling that other people probably get from fried chicken, mashed potatoes, or collard greens. I can't explain it, but it just makes me happy. But for some reason, I rarely cook Asian food myself. Maybe I was afraid I'd get sick of it if I actually made it, or that I'd screw it up and ruin Chinese forever (highly unlikely). Nevertheless, I decided to give it a try.
Another blast from the past (I first made it last January), this Asian cashew chicken is just as awesome as anything I could get at our local No. 1 Chinese Restaurant - and without all the MSG, whoo! Makes great leftovers, too. I proudly announced that I had made this from scratch when I brought it in to school for lunch the next day. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
