Hello folks!
A very warm welcome back to What’s For Tea :) Tonight for tea, I made this amazing Chinese takeaway inspired chicken with cashews! Seriously tasty and super easy to make. I used my slow cooker, but if you don’t have a slow cooker, it’s just as easy to make on the hob. The sauce is beautifully savoury, with a slightly sweet edge, lovey tender chicken with a fab contrast in texture from the crunchy cashews & vegetables…just wonderful!
Everything I used will be listed below,

60ml (1/4 cup) Soy sauce

This is becoming one of my favorite channels.
Traditional style marinates your chicken in soy sauce and rice wine vinegar about 20 minutes. Not to much liquid because when you have everything ready to go, toss the chicken with cornstarch. Sauté. the chicken and onions and ginger and garlic until chicken is done. Mix chicken stock and cornstarch and😢 whatever together and pour over chicken to create sauce. It thickens in a couple of minutes as you cook it. You can add hot peppers and peanuts for Kung Pau or cashews a bit of sugar or broccoli etc to this. So you take the same base and substitute pork for chicken or shrimp. Use strips of beef and broccoli and or mushrooms. All Chinese stirfry has only one recipe.
So you can use whatever your family likes. Fresh green beans a😊re great this way.
So now Cheryl has made you professional Chinese chefs.
This recipe was a huge hit in my house tonight! I subbed chicken thigh for the breast (hubbie said that pork would be great too), Used cornstarch for the flour, and cooked on the stove. The thing I love about recipes like this is that I usually have these ingredients in my pantry. Thank you!
Nice nail varnish and great dinner. 👍
Looks fab! Definitely will be giving this a try. So glad I found your channel.
Thanks so much for this recipe! Looks great! I like the idea of serving with broccoli too!
Looks delicious! I've just made this a while ago, and thus I have a little hack for you: pls roast your (roasted) cashews in the oven at a 200°C for some 8 to 10 minutes. To add them, just before serving. It's really worth it! I've learned that from Pailin Chongchitnant on here (Pailin's kitchen). She also has tutorials on soy sauce, coconut milk, fish sauce and oyster sauce.
Beeing from the north of Germany, us europeans often don't have much insight on the different brands and quality.
I lately bought 4 different oyster sauces. And, since I have very lovely neighbours, I even went over and had them taste-testing them, too. It was amazing, how different they taste!
Living this close to Hamburg, we have a lot of asian grocery stores here. If anyone from the Pinneberg-area is watching: our local store is just fantastic!
Don't use too high a heat with sesame oil or it can burn, traditionally it's added towards then end of cooking.
Sesame oil is never used as a base oil for frying due to its low combustion point
Coincidentally I'm making sticky chicken with cashews for Sunday this week, so I'll definitely try out this recipe as it seems much easier. Thanks for sharing xx
Great looking recipe. Always enjoy your slow cooker recipes. Definitely making this.
Gosh. That looks wonderful. 🥰
We don’t have takeaway near us and I’m always looking for new recipes. I will make this next week! I am sure it will be tasty.
the sauce sounds reallyl good, I am going to add chestnuts and cashews to my shopping list today!
The water chestnuts add a great texture Jean :) Onions would be great as an alternative 🥰

Very good video and liked for you, new friend here, thank you.
Hiya Cheryl. I was once told by a local Chinese restaurant owner that Sesame Oil should only ever be used as a condiment or flavouring at the END of a dish, and never to COOK with it. What are your thoughts on this adage, please? 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
That’s what most people do, put it in at the end. It doesn’t have a high smoke point so not good for frying.
What she used though - Lee Kum Kee Sesame wok oil - is only 30% sesame oil. It’s designed for frying stuff in
@@isyt1
Yes, I blend my own oil for stir frying.
Ohhh really never heard that. I use sesame oil sometimes to fry depends what I'm making.
@@Equinoxious342
3 hours on low in a slow cooker is not "cremated".
And the chicken had already been seared to seal in the moisture. A little less cooking time may be preferential but to be assured that the meat is properly cooked when cooking at low temperature in a slow cooker , 3 hours is advisable.
@@Equinoxious342 I’ve made Alex Wilkie’s takeaway oil many times. It’s really good mate. I add it to end of fried rice and chow mien etc.
But I don’t agree the chicken would be cremated at all. Slow cookers cook at such a low temperature that it eventually just falls apart like pulled pork. It won’t ever burn
Thanks Cheryl 🙂
Thank you for this recipe I will definitely we trying this 👍😊
Another great recipe, thanks.
Looks lovely
made this today for dinner for the family..pretty good...had to add a mite bit more sugar..as added a little to much vinegar but overall to get that sweet and sour balance right but ultimately, everybody happy at the flavours ..thax for the recipe :)
As MUCH AS I like your culinary tips and hints, I SOMETIMES just listen because your BEAUTIFUL, MELODIOUS and SOOTHING voice sounds like the stuff of sweet lullabies... (I'm a 'foodie', I GET IT but I could listen to you read a PHONE-BOOK, Scots Lady... ) NOT FLIRTING, just FACT... xx SF
Sounds fab without horse chestnuts though for me x
I would eat it looked delicious!
If it’s anything like your crockpot spaghetti Bol I’ll be giving it a go.
Thank you for this! 😊
Looks DELICIOUS!!! Thanks!! Definitely making next week!!❤️
Beautiful dish. Proper Fakeaway Cheryl. I made it...and 15 minutes later it was all gone.😁 x
Gorgeous.
I finally get to watch one of your videos in the same time zone! I'm in Gairloch right now, waiting to watch a concert and longing for cashew chicken. It looks delicious. My roommate loathes ketchup (can you imagine?!) and I'd have to use something in exchange. Do you think tomato sauce or tomato paste would be better?
Looks good Cheryl
On my . My hubby said you need to make me that 😋
Lovely :D
You could squeeze more veggies in there
Wow amazing video👌👌. I truly appreciate your work loved this video👍👍. Keep it up👍👍. I really love❤️ your content. I enjoyed while watching👀 your video. I 👍like👍 your style such a creative videos in your channel. Such amazing editing, keep it up and keep sharing.👍👍
Does the chicken get dry cooking for 2 hours? It looked scrumptiously good! 🤤🤤🤤
Wow nice vlog Cheryl
Veg with 2 hours to go or after 2 hours? Thank you
Have you ever made egg rolls? I made some in 2020 and they where really easy and tasted wonderful, but I haven't been able to find the Won Ton wrappers for awhile where I live.
Affy Braw!
Believe it or not,but cashew chicken was first made in Springfield Missouri, USA. It’s not exactly a traditional Chinese dish.
Ketchup? Flour? No self respecting Chinese take away would use these! Instead cornstarch and oyster or fish sauce! Never cook with sesame oil! It is a condiment! Use a high heat oil like peanut or any vegetable oil!
Not a fan of China food..just not for me😑
Why did you watch it then?
@@ladygrinningsoul992 why are you grumpy😎
@@HopeLaFleur1975 It seems like a fair question, though. You don't like Chinese food, you see a cooking video for Chinese Cashew Chicken, you watch it and then say you don't like Chinese food. Does that not seem strange to you? Just because someone questions you, it doesn't mean they're grumpy.
