This a very tasty dish. It has got to be very healthy. It takes a lot of time to prep and clean up.
The prep and clean up is always the worst thing about cooking take-out style Chinese dishes. But the flavor is so worth it. Thanks Simon!
Nice looking stir fry. I love nuts in a stir fry but have never tried cashews.
I LOVE cashews in general but they are fabulous in stir fry! Thanks Old Fat Guy!
