I don’t make much chinese food as I had them alot during my childhood. We had a mini chinese restaurant that was sort of a hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant down the street from our house in Los Angeles. So my momzy would order various Chinese Combo Specials. You know the ones that say, “2 items for $4.99 add another item for an extra $1.00”. Yeah, my momzy fell for those advertisements. LOL!
Well, here I am making one of those chinese combo specials except this involves 2 items. This is my version of that Cashew Chicken Stir Fry but you know I’m going to try and make it healthy.
