what I used to make this recipe
This looks super delicious and really easy to make! Can’t wait to try it !
This looks amazing, but I’m a little confused about cooking with Toasted Sesame Oil. I have read that it is not for cooking, but for flavoring. Either way, sure sounds wonderful!!!
Thank you for all of your recipes!!!
Great recipe but when I tried my chicken turned out wet and a lot of moisture accumulated in the bottom of the pan. Can you give me any tips on getting it more like the pictures?
You might want to let the chicken brown a little bit more in the pan before adding in the vegetables. Mine turned out as you described, but I didn’t mind. The recipe turned out really well!
The recipe calls for cashews, are these roasted or unroasted cashews?
So YUM! I used chili sesame oil for some spice 🙂
Will be making again!
I make this all the time now! My local Market doesn’t have snow peas so I use shredded carrots. Love it, and feel so healthy eating this instead of sesame chicken with rice!
Absolutely love this recipe! I added chili paste for an added kick! 🙂
