15 Minute Cashew Chicken Recipe That Will Change Your LIFE!

[@jeandunaway9428]

I love Claire's face every time she takes a bite. She looks so delighted and surprised at the same time. It looks delicious!

[@AaronandClaire]

🤣🤣🤣

[@gusf8451]

Not to mention she's very hot too

[@handichick]

I went to Chinese for Christmas because my Mom passed away two weeks prior and I just didn’t feel like doing anything special. But she LOVED Chinese food so I was honoring her anyway by going out rather than being sad alone at home. But I ordered this dish and I was sadly disappointed. The chicken was battered and tasted like it was deep fried in bacon grease. And all it had in it was cashews and celery. That’s it. I’ll make my own these way.

[@AaronandClaire]

I'm sorry to hear about your loss🙏. It sounds like going out for Chinese food was a thoughtful way to honor your mom's memory. If you need any cooking tips, feel free to ask.

[@patpeters6331]

Sorry for your loss. 😪🙏 I am sure that your mom appreciated the thoughtfulness of your gesture cuz mom's are like that. Now with this recipe you can think of her while making delicious cashew chicken. 💕

[@handichick]

@@patpeters6331 thank you! I already made one other from this channel too before she passed: the fried rice recipe. She loved it. The Chinese food in the is terrible where we moved to together. I HAD to learn it. But I didn’t think they could mess up cashew chicken.

[@bonniepwtf]

It's always difficult to lose a loved one but even harder around a holiday. So sorry for your loss.❤

[@patriciamoore3166]

So sorry for the loss of your mom. Hugs to you

I followed this video recipe, using almost every ingredient except for the dark soy sauce, which I skipped without substitution. Instead of Golden Mountain Sauce and Fish Sauce, I used chicken bouillon. Surprisingly, the dish turned out absolutely delicious, even better than any Thai restaurant I've ever tried. I never thought I could cook so well! Thanks so much for this life-changing video! For Canadians interested in making this dish, all the ingredients can be found at Food Basics. They didn't have white pepper, which is supposed to be better than black pepper (which I used). Instacart delivered my stuff in no time, and the only other thing they couldn't find was Mirin, but I managed to locate it at my local store.

[@RiffraffDC]

I made this last night for my partner and myself and it turned out great! I followed the written recipe but thought to watch this video after I completed the dish to see where I could improve on my knife work and I’ll bring those new learnings to the next recipe I try from your channel. Thank you for posting this!

[@archonm9995]

Made this for supper tonight. Came out amazing! I used tapioca starch, honey and fish sauce as substitute. Work with what you have! Thank you!!

[@AaronandClaire]

That’s the spirit!!!! 🔥🔥😁

[@bonniepwtf]

This really was a gorgeous presentation, so colorful. Little Hodu made my day with her gymnastics, so adorable!❤🐶🤎🧡💛

[@pamz7531]

I love this. I just made it and had to sit and eat it right now. This is so good. No rice, I’m diabetic, and no sugar, artificial sweetener. I wouldn’t know if that affects the taste, but it tastes good to me. Thank you. Love from NC, USA. 🥰👍

[@MoonJarGirl1]

Hi Aaron! Hello Claire! I just got done making this! I had to tweak the ingredients because i didnt have everything. It is SO GOOD!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!! Hehe...

[@omgitsaheadcrab]

I've made this twice now, it's actually awesome. Well done!

[@loriki8766]

Looks so delicious and colorful! Yes! Another delicious thing to cook!

[@AaronandClaire]

Thank you for watching 😍

[@BillWeaverMusic]

Made this tonight, and could not be more pleased. Thank you for the awesome recipe.

[@samruda23]

Made this exact recipe tonight and it came out just terrific. Actually, restaurant quality. Thank you Aaron and Clair. Your vids are super clear and concise. The white pepper seems to be a small but an important ingredient. It packs a more distinct taste than black pepper.

[@lizardstew]

I made this today! Such a life changing way to eat chicken breast. I’ve never velveted chicken before! I had to sub a few things but I just used what I had and it was the best. My husband said to “add that” to my list of recipes we love.

[@patricialongworth2520]

Hi Aaron and Clare. I wanted to make Chinese Chicken and Cashew and I’ve got 30 plus Chinese recipe books, plus I follow Chinese KZbinrs and not one of them was right. Then I remembered that you did a video on it. Found it, followed it and it was delicious. I should have known to check your videos.

[@iLanflowerr77]

Made this recipe for dinner tonight and it was very delicious! I eliminated the sugar by 1/4 than what the requested amount requested and it was really good. Thank you for demonstrating your recipe!

[@deebirdwell2051]

I made this today with boneless chicken thighs. This dish is insanely delicious!!!! Will be making this on a regular basis! Thank you Aaron and Claire

[@bleachedkon]

This recipe is amazing. I made it for my family and it was so easy and tasty so I made it again for when we had guests over. It was a hit and I had people emailing me afterwards asking me for the recipe! Thank you for sharing this! It's not my go to recipe. I have a potluck coming up and this will be my contribution

[@kraze4paper]

Thank you for sharing the Thai version also! Looks soooo good! ❤🇨🇦

[@kimoilopez]

It's my 1st time following one of your recipes, after watching your videos for years. It was sooooo good. I didn't even have all the ingredients & it tasted legit, like from a more expensive Chinese restau. Enough said, won't doubt your recipes any more. Will try the gochujang chicken next. Thanks Aaron & Claire. 💜💜💜

[@agr8cutr]

I love you guys!! My Simply Korean cookbook was just delivered and I am absolutely thrilled! I watch your videos all the time but it's so nice to have the cookbook. The pictures are wonderful and the recipes seem easy to follow. The tips from Claire add a special touch! Thank you for producing such an awesome cookbook!

[@AaronandClaire]

So glad to hear that!! 😍 Thanks for watching! 👍

[@colddash5598]

The first cashew chicken I had and ordered many times growing up had a clear sauce..I loved it. I more recently ordered from a local restaurant and it was similar to yours with a brown sauce, it was good but I think I prefer the clear chicken style broth/sauce.

[@happy_housewife193]

My whole family loved this! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@TheGeorgeOrange]

Omg so good! Spouse said it tastes like take out. Love this channel and your book!

Can confirm, this is an absolutely delicious dish!! Best cashew chicken I’ve ever made!

[@knockinoutprojects8743]

Thanks, Aaron! I made this for my family and they all loved it.

[@hoodieninja70]

I made this tonight. Not 15 min (for me) but I like to take my time. :) I didn't have ginger root, so I used 3/4 tsp ground ginger. I forgot to use the garlic. I didn't have any dark soy sauce, so I just subbed in more regular soy sauce. The marinade I followed exactly. For the veggies, I didn't use red pepper, but added zucchini, carrots, and celery. My cashews were already salted, but I did cook them like you showed. I doubled the amount of sauce. It turned out wonderful! My husband gave it an A+

[@conniezepszeps2535]

Hey Aaron and Claire, I just made your guys Cashew Chicken Recipe and it was delicious. I also made the Dak Kalguksu Recipe some weeks ago and it was also amazing. I just bought your cook book and plan to make one recipe each week. I'm looking forward for more amazing meals. Greetings from germany!

[@paladinbob1236]

made this today for the family.....very nice....one to go on the "recipe" log book - my thanks chef :)

[@fresh80able]

Great video! I was about to say the same as Claire. This is similar to the Kung Pao Chicken recipe I'm used to cook, which I end up eating alone because my family can't take any heat. I'll try this for sure. You are doing an amazing job!

[@nicoledenniss8897]

Im from Australia, And this and Chicken n veg in Oyster sauce are My favourite chicken dishes, but both have to be served with rice.

Funnily enough cashew chicken is on my list of meals for next week. I use the broccoli stems left over from your recent broccoli stir fry recipe. (Some family members don’t like bell peppers.)

Fun Fact: Cashew Chicken was Invented first in Springfield, Missouri by Chef Leong in 1963. It’s a U.S. made dish. I’ve had it a ton there, and every other iteration of it at other places? Even overseas? They Do Not compare to Chef Leong’s Springfield’s recipe.

I want to do the Thai version with the Golden Mountain Sauce and Fish sauce. You have pointed out that this can replace the chicken bulion powder, but what quantity should I use? A tablespoon of each or maybe less?

[@AaronandClaire]

You just need 1/2 tablespoon of each! Hope you enjoy it! 😊🙌

OMG my mouth is watering!!

[@ccc4102]

Dear Aaron & Clare, I made some rice paper wraps. All went well except that the wraps kept sticking together. Of course separating them caused the wraps to tear and so on. Is there a hack to avoid this? Only if you can and no pressure. Wishing you a solid 2024. You will go from strength to strength. Good wishes from our home in South Africa. 🇿🇦
