Do you know a recipe for the sauce used on cashew chicken at Chinese food buffets?

The sauce I'm thinking of is a brown gravy that is poured over breaded chicken chunks and rice, then sprinkled with roasted cashews. I've looked on all of the recipe sites that I know of, and haven't found anything close. I appreciate your help!Do you know a recipe for the sauce used on cashew chicken at Chinese food buffets?

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts


2 cups all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons baking soda


5 tablespoons cornstarch, divided


3 eggs, beaten


2 cups peanut oil for frying


2 cups chicken broth


2 tablespoons oyster sauce


1 tablespoon white sugar


2 tablespoons soy sauce


1 teaspoon ground white pepper


2 tablespoons chopped green onion for topping


2 cups cashew halves





Cut the chicken breasts into 1 inch pieces. In a shallow dish or bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch. In another dish or bowl beat the eggs. Dip chicken pieces into flour mixture, then eggs, then flour mixture again. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet and deep fry coated chicken in hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.





Meanwhile (while frying chicken), heat broth to boiling in a medium saucepan. Add oyster sauce, sugar, soy sauce and white pepper. Mix remaining 4 tablespoons cornstarch with a small amount of cold water in a cup. Stir cornstarch mixture slowly into broth mixture to thicken, then cook for another 5 minutes over medium-low heat.





Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Heat cashew nuts and chopped green onions in preheated oven for about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over fried chicken and top with cashews and green onion. Serve with soy sauce to taste over a bed of fried rice, if desired.Do you know a recipe for the sauce used on cashew chicken at Chinese food buffets?
