I live in the country. Welcome to my frontier! But Cashew Chicken is definitely, for me, a lifelong comfort food. I used to go to China Garden in my hometown, whether with my group of friends or my boyfriend at the time Kevin…and this is what I always ordered.

Whenever I eat it, I think of Jeep Wagoneers, Giorgio perfume, Stiff Stuff hairspray, toe shoes, Pontiac Fieros, and size 6 Guess jeans. I could eat it weekly for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.

First make the yummy sauce, which will eventually cook in the pan with all the ingredients. Mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, oyster sauce, and sesame oil.

Next, chuck in some bell peppers. I used green, but a mix of green, red, or yellow would be tremendous! Stir in the bell pepper and let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes. While the pan is still hot, pour in some sherry. You can also use white wine or just broth, but I really think the flavor of sherry is special in stir fries like this.

And it will remind you of the seventies, which is an added bonus! Stir in the sherry, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen up any bits.

Turn the heat to medium-low and pour in the sauce mixture…. Stir the sauce for 1 to 2 minutes to thicken the whole shebang. Add cashews and chopped up water chestnuts at this stage. Stir this all in so everything is coated and wonderful.

Add a splash of water if the sauce seems overly thick. A sprinkling of green onions…. And a bed of cooked rice is all it needs!
