Cheesecake Factory's Spicy Cashew Chicken is straight from the restaurant's menu, this is a really spicy Mandarin-Style chicken dish with scallions and roasted cashews. It is crispy while being coated in this amazing sauce thanks to the light texture of the tempura style batter and the rice flour. My Mother-in-Law is a HUGE fan of cashews.

Steps to make Spicy Cashew Chicken:
- Combine 2 Tbsp of soy sauce with the cooking sherry in a medium sized bowl
- Cut chicken into bite sized pieces, put chicken in soy sauce and sherry marinade. Let sit while you prepare the other ingredients
- In a small bowl, whisk 8 Tbsp soy sauce, 3 Tbsp corn starch, 8 tsp sugar, and 4 tsp vinegar. Set aside.
- Slice the green onions, mince the garlic and measure out the red pepper flakes
- Drain chicken in strainer to get the marinade off as much as possible
- Heat oil in wok or large skillet over high heat. When oil is hot and ready, add red pepper flakes to the oil and stir a few times
- Add chicken all at once. Let the chicken sit for a few minutes until golden, then stir to turn the chicken and brown on both sides.
- Once chicken is golden brown and cooked through, add garlic to chicken and cook for about a minute
- Drain oil if there is still an excessive amount in the pan. Add cashews, stir.
- Immediately remove wok or skillet from the heat pour in sauce while continuously stirring to coat all the chicken in the sauce.
- The sauce should thicken quite a bit, but if you would like it thicker, put the pan back on medium heat for 5-10 seconds, constantly stirring.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the top, add green onion slices, serve over white rice, and enjoy!
- Veggies could also be added. I added a 1/4 cup of chopped celery and added it right before adding the cashews
Pulse or blend until the mixture is a smooth paste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Reserve a third of the marinade for serving with the chicken. Sprinkle chicken with remaining cilantro and serve with lime wedges and remaining cashew mixture. I created this when I fell in love with a dish at a Thai restaurant.
