“Cashew chicken recipe from this site. The difference is I added entirely more cabbage (because I didnt measure) and didnt add the cornstarch. Used brown rice and steamed the broccoli rather than cook in sauce”

“Your cashew chicken recipe sounds delicious and well-balanced Lana! The extra cabbage is a great source of fiber which will help keep you feeling full. And opting for brown rice and steamed broccoli instead of cooking them in sauce is a smart choice to keep the meal lean. Well done! Enjoy your Sunday”
