Published May 08, 2018 Updated Sep 30, 2024 Cashew chicken is one of the most popular recipes on Rasa Malaysia. I first published the recipe many years ago and it’s also on my “Easy Chinese Recipes” cookbook. Over the years, I have made the recipe over and over again. Recently I chanced upon a Honey Cashew Chicken recipe here, which is such a wonderful variation so I decided to adapt the recipe for our family’s dinner. Honey cashew chicken, as the name stated, it’s an Asian stir-fry dish with cashew nuts, chicken, and honey. Toss in some healthy broccoli and red bell pepper, flavor it with regular pantry items of honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and you have the most amazing, delicious, and wholesome meal for the entire family. My almost 4-year old son is a super picky eater. He knows exactly what he likes and doesn’t like. This honey cashew chicken recipe totally fits his picky palate because he loves cashew nuts, broccoli, and honey. He doesn’t like chicken, but when the chicken is combined with his favorite ingredients, he would happily eat it, without complaining about “I don’t want chicken, I don’t want chicken.” Well, if you have a little picky eater at home, I am sure you know the drill, but this recipe does the magic for me. The best thing about this honey cashew chicken is how accessible it is to busy moms and home cooks. You don’t need to go to Chinatown or Asian stores for special ingredients. You can get all the ingredients at your regular grocery stores but still make an authentic and mouthwatering Asian dish at home. It tastes so MUCH better than the greasy and unhealthy takeout, and you can practically make it in less than 20 minutes from prep to finish!
