Starting the New Year With Insufficient Cashew Chicken

[Lucky]

We thought we had found just the right Chinese restaurant to get take away dishes for out Chinese dinner. We usually order enormous amounts of food to have a dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve and the Chinese New Year itself. Once again we come home to disappointment- not enough cashews in the chicken cashew.

I have tried to make it clear that we want plenty of cashews. It never does any good.

So, for tonight's dinner, should I go about getting some raw cashews locally and then roast them, or would added cashews not mix well with existing food?

What's the point restaurants? Why advertise cashews in the chicken if one can barely find them?

I'll bet Vinapu doesn't have this problem.

I have the SAME problem with "honey walnuts" in my shrimp !    

I'm just blaming it on Trumps tariffs.   🤔

I had a few remaining Costco cashews that I sauteed in sesame oil and then added to a Chinese stir fry.  Tasted good.

That said,

may I ask which are the better Chinese restaurants in PS?

I'm addicted to PANDA EXPRESS......😍

I've always considered the "nuts" in asian cuisine as GARNISH,  not actual ingredients..... BUT, I love me some garnish, usually more that the dish itself, so I always love when the dish is heavy on the "garnish".    What can I say,  I LOVE nuts ...

My reheated cashews helped, but just a little. Leftover Chinese food is just that.
