This recipe is a bit bland. I added some extra soy sauce and ginger to give it more flavor.

I had a hard time finding cashews at my local grocery store. I ended up using peanuts instead and they worked just fine.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably make it again with less chili pepper next time.
