This recipe is good and tasty for busy nights but it does not taste authentic to me. I think it is because of the ketchup. I followed the recipe exactly too.

    Cashew Chicken in general is supposed to have a sweeter flavor, not so tangy, and not so acidy. Next time, I will make some type of ru (probably spelled wrong) and omitting the catsup all together. It was too much. But, other than that, its good.

    Excellent recipe! Definitely restaurant quality. I substitued the carrots and snowpeas with a 16oz bag of oriental mix frozen vegetables. I think the cashews are a nice touch, but not necessary as it is the sauce that makes this dish. The ginger gives this dish a wonderful flavor.
