Chicken Cashew Szechuan

Features:
    Cuisine:

      Everyone has a few tattered and torn cookbooks with pages falling out that you just cannot bring yourself to part with. For us, at the top of that list is a very dog eared Betty Crocker’s Chinese Cookbook from 1981. This recipe is from that book and it is one of our “go to” recipes when we fancy a chinese meal at home. Serve this with our Hot and Sour soup as a first course.
