Crunchy cashews, tender chicken, celery and mushrooms make a filling and easy to prepare stir fry. This is a big hit with my wife and me, says Richard W. Borchers of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.

It was pretty bland. I would add much more ginger, and maybe garlic.

My husband is not a chicken or oriental cuisine fan but he enjoyed this and said he would like to have it again.
