Cashew Chicken with Noodles Recipe

Reviewed on May. 14, 2013 by HoneyBe3

This recipe is amazing! I make it probably about once a month. All of the ingredients except the sweet chili sauce are items I kept on hand. Now, sweet chili sauce is a must have and it's super-affordable. Boyfriend LOVES this dish too!

We made this tonight and it was an instant favorite! We did double the sauce, added 1 cup julenned carrots, and 1 cup chicken broth. Each person added the chili sauce to their tastes. Very tasty!

Have had multiple requests for this recipe. Today I'm making it to take to my sister's house.

I really enjoyed this dish. Very simple to make and great flavor. If you're used to a ton of sauce with your oriental dishes, you'll want to double the sauce ingredients. I thought it was great as is!

The flavor in this dish was very good. I used soba noodles. I didn't have peanut oil on hand, but peanut butter is a good alternative! Thanks for the recipe!

I was a little disappointed with the way it turned out. I think I will try it again except this time I will take the suggestion of peanut butter instead of peanut oil. I will also use rice instead of the noodles which I thought took over the dish. Maybe even add some broccoli or carrots.

Very easy and yummy!! I did not have he peanut oil and followed previous rewiew and used a bit of peanut butter and it worked fine. I think I might experiment with different type noodles.

I followed the recipe exactly and there was absolutely no sauce. Should cornstarch be teaspoons instead of tablespoons? Or maybe add chicken stock?

Well, I was skeptical, but I was running late and needed a quick recipe to use up some leftover, already cooked chicken from the night before. I doubled the sauce and used whole wheat noodles because that's what I had. I also added carrots with the onions (regular onions sauteed until soft because I didn't have green) to give us a quick veggie. Wow, was I surprised! We absolutely loved it and it's already on the menu for next week. My husband actually said he thought about it at work the next day. Incredibly simple, fast and delicious. Doesn't get any better than that. Thanks for posting!

I will definitely try this! In the Quick Dinners newsletter, it was billed as "the perfect freezer meal", but I do not see directions about a freezer meal, just a mention of the 'author' making freezer meals with friends. How can this be made into a freezer meal? Is it fully cooked and then frozen? Does it lose anything in the rewarming? Thanks!

I have made this recipe twice now. Everyone in our family loves it and I double it so we can have it for leftover lunches. I didn't find rice noodles at a reasonable price so I used regular linguine or fettuccine noodles.

This was delicious! Some people had to purchase peanut or sesame oil for this one recipe and complained a bit. Now is your chance to look for new recipes that utilize these ingredients. There are many! Happy hunting.

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!
