Just made it, family thought it was great...I agree, will add more cornstarch next time for thicker sauce and maybe red pepper flakes for some heat. Loved it

Just made this and turned out really good. I will make it again but I will probably add more cornstarch to make the sauce thicker.

I made this with shrimp instead. Very tasty, but quite salty. I might use water instead of chicken broth next time. And it's a LOT of cashews. I might halve those too.
