Notes

To get more spicy flavor in this recipe increase the sriracha and chili garlic sauce.

Always tenderize the chicken by marinating chicken with cornstarch and baking soda and stir fry the chicken,leaving out any leftover marinade.

Stir fry the chicken quickly once added to pan or it may stick to the pan.

Use roasted cashews or you can roast cashews in oven or on stove top too.

You can reheat the cashew chicken but freshly made chicken tastes amazing – so serving immediately while its warm tastes best.

To make this recipe healthy you can always skip adding cornstarch and reduce the oil in the recipe.
