Cashew chicken is a common dish in many Chinese restaurants. Most westernized versions, however, are heavy and unrefined. A true Cantonese cashew chicken is served in a very light sauce seasoned with ginger. This recipe is easy to make and serves as a great introduction to the art and alchemy of a good stir fry. We’ve adapted this recipe from Grace Young’s superb book, Stir-Frying to the Sky’s Edge, which we thoroughly recommend as a kitchen essential for the cook who is interested in starting to make great stir-fry dishes at home.
