So much nostalgia in this dish! I miss the western Chinese diners. Happy Sunday! 💕
I like chicken thighs too not dry
Wow looks tasty to me, i will try to cook this nextweek. I think this is same as the kungpao chicken dish at the chinese buffet.
Wow! Going to go & make this right now for lunch ( was recently wondering what to make with these cashews! ) Thank you for all your wonderful recipes! I’ve been making the Taiwanese Beef soup for my family & they all love it! Didn’t know you had a cook book out there till now, will look into ordering because some days the power goes out & it’s good to have aback up plan, ☺😀
@Agnes Currie Not quite the same but similar to Kung Pao chicken.
@marilee diamond Thanks! Still working on the next cookbook that is coming out very soon. 🤞🏼
I made this cashew chicken dish yesterday. I asked my son to give it a score of 0 to 10. He gave it a 16. Thank you so much.
CHEF TIP: I roasted the cashews in a preheated 300⁰ oven for 20 minutes or until the nuts begin to release their aroma. I gave em a shake after 10 minutes and then let them finish for the 20 mins. This temp works well with no burns and they come out crunchy after they cool.
Thanks for the info. 👍🙏❤️🇨🇦
@@lisaarmstrong3428 Your welcome!
A feast for the eyes as well as a feast for the mouth!
Don’t eat it often but really enjoy this dish. Happy Sunday! Be blessed 😊
This looks amazing. 😋 My husband and I love watching your videos together. He always completely tunes in for ... "the taste." 😂 Thanks Flo and Dude! 🍽
G'day from South Australia🇦🇺
Have really enjoyed watching you and you make them so easy
Than you and God bless you and your family sweetheart.
Best wishes to my favourite talented chef/cook. 🙏👍🌹🇦🇺🦘❤️👋
Just did the moo shu pork last night rave reviews from the wifey… will try the cashew chicken… simple! We lived in up state NY for 22 years and hit the Chinese restaurants weekly, now in southern NM and we have the Mexican food I love but glad I found you for the Chinese fix I need!;) Thank you Flo and Dude!
I love your recipes and videos, you always inspire me to cook. Love to you and your family and fur baby from us down here in Kansas.
Great to see Flo and DUDE again!!!
You are such an amazing Chef Flo 😊
Thank you for bringing such wonderful recipes to us within a budget 🙏
Love from Romania 🇷🇴 🤗
CHEF TIP: If you don't mind geometric shapes to the chicken, freeze the meat for about 1 hr. And the dicing process becomes simplified.
I have made this dish and I LOVE it. Thank you Flo, you make Chinese cooking so easy!!!!
That looks amazing and so simple. Dinner next week. I can’t tell you how many recipes I have made from your videos and your cookbook. They have all turned out so good. Thank you and Happy Sunday ❤
Cashew chicken is one of my favorites for sure.
I love hearing kitty cat sounds during your videos! So so sweet ✌️✌️💜💜😸😸
Nice. Some of the Chinese restaurants near me also do chicken and almonds which also works well.
One of my faves! Looks soooo good.
How wonderful, and you make it look so easy. Thank you, have a blessed month of December.
I made this today- followed your recipe exactly… it was super delicious! Thank you!
Looks great! Can't wait to make this!!
Yummm! I’m fixing this for dinner this week!
I’ll be making this soon...one of my faves.❤️. I could eat this often!!!
I made this tonight! Delicious and easy!!
You guys are killing it!
Look delicious. Thanks for sharing 👍
Look delicious I will make this one night this week thanks Flo! Have a great week ❤
Love your recipes, Flo! Thank you so much! I have two of your cook books but it's always fun to see you live on your videos and of course - the Dude and his official taste test, haha! You're great! Thank you for keeping it delicious, simple, cost effective and of course - keeping the faith! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

That looks so delicious! 😋

Looks delicious!
Oh my! My favorite dish! Love Cashew chicken! ❤️
Thanks
Thank you ❤
You made our cashew chicken dinner so delicious
I missed a few , but, it’s all good .🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This looks amazing Flo. Thank you. I tried to make this a few months ago but it didn't turn out right. I will try your recipe for sure.
Loved the unexpected ending!! 🤭 I'm going to make this on my days off!! Can't wait!! Thank you again and happy Sunday to you and the family!!! 😊
🤣 Dude snuck in my little outtake when I couldn’t remember what I was trying to say. 🤦🏻♀️
Hey girl 👧 I am Canadian and I am going to the store now to buy items for this dish❤❤❤❤
Lovely recipe and so easy and tasty , haven’t had that dish in sometime as it’s too expensive in the restaurants here , cashews drive up the cost I suppose , so best to do it at home , good treat . Happy Sunday to everyone.🙏
Love this recipe! I made it for the 2nd time tonight 😀.
Lum, I cansmeii the dish while you cook, smile sooo good
Flo your Mom was right about the smell, it's not the smell of chicken but the smell that accompanies the smell of chicken if not cooked right 🙂 your cashew chicken looks amazing I'm definitely trying it
I like it.
Very nice!
Looks delicious. One of my to go order at a chines restaurant. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Just devoured our dinner. I had asparagus to use up so that got tossed in too. Funny thing is we have a wok for a flame stove but we have a glass top. So we fired up the propane burner on the bbq outside, in the snow. Life is fun. And this is now a go to dish for us. Thanks.😊
That’s so awesome! Glad you enjoyed… not just the dish but the whole process!
I have a butane stove and we use it outside to make many different dishes... Cooked outside in a snow storm once, I'm like a kid, had fun and everyone loved the food..."Life is what you make it". 🙏
Delicious
So yummy
this is my go to whenever I order Chinese
Do you have a recipe for creamy coconut shrimp or chicken? I love them when I go out to our restaurants near here.
I love your dishes, I don’t eat Chinese out anymore ❤
Flo and Dude....not only do we share a love of cooking and eating great food, we share a love for Jesus!! May the Lord bless your and your family!! Love your vids!!!
thank you so much it made it look so easy. I am going to trade out some of the vegetables. Celery, Carrots, and Water Chestnuts then the cashew. Still trying to find a savory crab rangoon recipe. Poi retired at the restaurant I use to go to and no one makes crab rangoons like hers. I am going to look at more of your recipes.
This looks amazing! I need to try this!
I think I have that santoku that you have! I think I've had it for 15 years. You should consider having it getting sharpened by a service. It's a great way to breathe new life into knives and it's not very expensive. $1USD and inch or something.
Yummy I can make this dish. ❤
FLO,hello,a similar dish many years ago,but the cashews really make it great,goes well,with chicken,THANKS ,STAY WELL,🇬🇧🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸
Will try this tonight 💜 I also love that you don’t exact measure everything (I have no time for that since no one helps in the kitchen) 😂
Have you caught any of Kenji's vids where he attacks bell peppers? His knife work on those is inspiring for making it even simpler to get your bells ringing easily for stir fry (or any other) use.
Thanks for yet another inspiring demo, Flo & Dude. Peace and Love to you both,
~~Kris
kicken ass flo lum!!! love the videos!!!
Hi Flo, yummy.
wow it does look amazing
Oh ya! Better and cheaper indeed!😋❤️
I usually add the corn starch to the saucy sauce so it saves a step.
Haha!! I love the unexpected ending!! And that recipe is a definite keeper! I, too, prefer the dark meat sections of chicken…so much more tender and flavorful. Happy Sunday! TFS, Sharon♥️🤗
So was I! LOL! Dude snuck that in there. My little outtake when I can’t remember what I’m trying to say. 🤦🏻♀️
@@FloLum wish I could tell you that was going to get better!! Haha!! ♥️🤗
🤣
Love cashew chicken
This is one of the first dishes I learned to make in home economics! Looks yummy!
Wow! I don’t remember learning to cook anything Asian in home ec!
@@FloLum this was 34 years ago too! No sesame oil or oyster sauce though which will make all the difference! Can’t wait to make this.
Yummy 😋 😋 😋 Love 💘 😻 💜 💛 💚 Flo and Dude Prayers going 🙏
Love this! Going to make it soon. Do you have a Japchae recipe?
I do… JAPCHAE - Korean Glass Noodles 잡채

Yum. I told hubby this is what we are making for dinner. Thank you!
Thanks Flo, for all of your inspiring & delicious dishes! I‘m unfortunately allergic to shellfish; is there a flavour combination of Chinese sauces I could use to try and replace -the taste of- oyster sauce?
Yummm!!! 😊
I love how Kitty is going to get some screen time even if she/he has to do a voice cameo. 😂
Please add instructions to your recipes in print and online for sharing the information regarding the recipes. Thank you so much for sharing
❤ this
Man oh man! This looks delicious minus cashews, there will be NO leftovers 😋
Nice haircut my guy
I've always used the clear shaoxing wine. Do you know what the difference is between the clear and amber colored one? They sit next to each other on the store shelf, and out of habit I always grab the clear one. Thanks in advance.
I make this regularly…. Better than takeout in my families opinion!
Love this. Thank you for posting. I'm in the market for a wok spatula for my carbon steel wok. Is there one you'd recommend?
Not in particular. The one I have has a wooden handle that keeps falling off. 🤦🏻♀️ Drives me mad. But I’d look for one that has a curved edge with small lip on either side and stainless steel. Hope that helps!
@@FloLum Thanks. If you happen to see one on Amazon you'd suggest, let me know. I'll go looking too
Flo, how do you make mushi pork?
Your cat's seem to be more vocal when you're cooking chicken is it their favorite?
Can sake be substituted for the rice wine?
What size wok are you using?
The chicken smell means a open food market, that might of been there most of the day. My understanding ❤
How hot is the bottom of the pan when you are cooking?
Are you using a stainless steel wok??
❤
Have you ever had or made Thai cashew chicken? The Chinese version is yum the Thai version is better in my opinion!
I love Thai cashew chicken too!
And we know that Mom's have their own culinary practices. secrets. Oh well😋
Just do it.
I started Keto. I wonder if I can skip the cornstarch in the marinade, the sugar in the sauce and the cornstarch slurry. Hmmm.
Cornstarch is the thickening agent and also helps to velvet meat. I believe you can sub arrowroot powder at least for the thickening part. And just omit the sugar or sub with something sweet. Sorry, I don’t even know what keto means so don’t want to lead you astray!
Kitty smelled the chicken and wanted some. ☹
I'm in the market for a burner like the one you are using. Is it safe enough to use indoors and do you recommend it?
As far as I know, these butane burners are for indoor use and we often use it to hot pot on the dining table where everyone cooks their food in hot soup. That’s what it’s sold for actually. Like fondue for Asians.
@@FloLum Thanks. I will be ordering it.
Dude sure has a tough job. I think it's too much for him so I'm willing to take on that tough job and give him a little rest. Just give me a call.
🤣
I know EXACTLY what your mom means about taking away the ‘smell of the chicken’.
My mom is 94 and has never liked “chicken smell”
😂
@@FloLum My mom is Japanese and I just ordered your cookbook. I am looking forward to receiving it♥️
Kung Pao chicken?
