Title: Chicken and Cashew sauce was not good - ideas?
Post by: jomarko on July 27, 2011, 02:20:01 pm

Help!! I just made the chicken and cashew from the Everyday Cookbook, and we didn't like the sauce. The dry sherry and soy just didn't work for our tastebuds....any suggestions for a nice sweetnsour or lemon sauce to go with the chicken and cashew dish?

Jomarko check out quirky Jo's cashew chicken it is delish. You will find it in the all in one meals section

I think it's the sherry which ruins it. I'd try soy, honey and toasted sesame - I think that sounds much nicer.

I didn't like it either jomarko and have only tried it once.  I do have notes all over that page though with Quirky Jo's suggestions. Her recipe (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5335.0) which Meagan pointed out, has rave reviews so I would definitely go with that one over the boring one in the EDC.

yes i made the edc one and thought it was also really tasteless! the chicken needed some seasoning or something before it was steamed, and the sauce was not nice. i was fortunate enough to try quirky cookings recipe cooked by herself, at a cooking event in february, it really was delicious.
