My family loved it!

We loved this recipe. I didn't purchase the expensive peanut oil either. I subbed a little bit of peanut butter in its place. I didn't use the cornstarch either. I just left it out. I couldn't find rice noodles and used fettucini in its place. I think it would be great either way it is made.

tastes great but had to add an extra cup of liquid (broth and water) to make a sauce, with that much cornstarch it just turned gelatinous. The chili sauce at the end is a great touch. Substituted wide egg noodles and canola oil

My boyfriend is very picky, goes to authentic ethnic restaurants and said, "This recipe has everything I like!" From my side, it was very easy to make. We both loved the amount of noodles, the oerall taste and the nice touch of hot sauce at the end. This recipe will be a keeper at our house.

I love cashew chicken & this recipe made my love for it even greater because now I can make it as much as I want. This is a great dish. I like my sauce a little thinner so I used water to thin it out to my liking. Thank you so much for sharing. Wonderful!!

Wow this was awesome. Quick, easy and delicious. My whole family loved this dish. Even though this is "Cashew Chicken" the next time I make it I will decrease the amount of cashews the recipe calls for, just personal preference. Try this recipe, you won't be disappointed.

My family loved this. I did not have any peanut oil so I used jalapeno flavored olive oil which gave great flavor.

My husband and I REALLY liked this recipe! It was easy to put together and had a nice flavor -- the sweet chili sauce has just the right amount of kick to it. My only complaint about the recipe as a whole is it required ingredients I didn't have around the house (rice noodles, sesame oil, peanut oil, sweet chili sauce). I hesitate to buy a $6 bottle of peanut oil for 1 Tbs. in a recipe. HOWEVER, for us the purchase was worth it because we will DEFINITELY be making this over and over again! Yum-o!
