    You're actually so fun to watch. I've only come across your videos a few days ago but I love the enthusiasm and passion.
  • @lfjane
    I watched the video last week and finally made it tonight. What a PERFECT recipe. I could not get thighs so used breast; your marinade trick with adding water worked beautifully. Also roasted those cashews fully, as directed. Better than takeout for sure! Can’t wait to make more of your recipes!

    I made your recipe this past Sunday. Wow! Wow! Wow! (My best Mark Wiens' impression.) It turned out to be my best ever Thai dish. I'm teaching myself how to cook Thai dishes using your cookbook. I added three Thai chilies during the garlic/onions step of the cook. And, I roughly broke up the cashews in my mortar in order to have more smaller pieces of the cashew flavor spread in the dish. I have got to do this again very soon. How about tomorrow, ya'll? I can't pronounce the Thai name for this dish, but I sure can whip it up and tear it up. ;)

    Hey Pailin, Just wanted to thank you for this walk through. After following your directions to a T(and following directions has never been my strong point), this Thai dish turned out to be the best entree I’ve ever prepared! Again, Thank you!
  • I have made this recipe for the first time, my teen daughter loves Thai food but so far she wasn't very keen on my attempts at home cooked Thai food. This time, using your recipe and recommended Thai soy sauce and chili paste, it was a wow. Thumbs up from my daughter. Thank you for sharing this.

    oh my gosh it just looks amazing. I've recently moved to rural Pennsylvania, and usually its difficult to get all the ingredients I'm looking for. But for this, I have it all! I can't wait for tomorrow nights dinner! Thank you Pai!
  • @j_b_9381
    So excited for this! I just made your Pad Ga Prao yesterday, again, and it was fantastic as always, but cashew chicken has always been one of my favorites!
  • Made this for the first time today, and it was delicious! Now that I have several of the basic Thai ingredients, I found the recipe quite easy. (It's especially easy if you have a husband that does all the prep!) In addition to tasting great, the dish looked great. Thanks so much!
  • @JimGuevara
    Seriously, you can just do no wrong!!! I have loved every single recipe I’ve made from watching your videos. Thank you!!!!
  • @darren7650
    You are so fun to watch! Love it. I love cashew chicken, I'll be off to the store tomorrow for the ingredients! THANK YOU!!
  • @PCL73314
    I made this last night and it was SO GOOD! I had the universal stir fry sauce ready to go. Great tip roasting the cashews more. What a difference! Will make this again and again!
  • @juiceloose100
    This recipe has all of my favourite things! Definitely making this asap. Your recipe from Thai green chicken curry is sensational..
  • @orientex
    I’ve lived in Thailand for 30 years and have tasted this dish in at least 40 different restaurants. This recipe is the best best I’ve tasted. The only change I made was more than double the amount of chili paste. It’s the chili paste/oil that makes the difference between this dish and the bland stuff sold to foreigners in Thailand and overseas, in my opinion. Thanks so much - now I can really enjoy this at home!
  • @morketh
    I live in Houston TX and we have many Thai restaurants we go to where I have their Cashew Chicken and it is my favorite meal to eat above all else! Decided I wanted to make my own and I tried your recipe and followed it to a T and HOLY SMOKES!!! This is the most amazing cashew chicken I've ever had! Thank you!
  • @user-dh5nw2xm3v
    Omg yessss!!! It came out delicious 🥰😍 thank youuu!! I’ve been craving this dish and wanted to learn how to make it myself.
  • Hi Pailin, I just purchased your cookbook which was the last one left on the shelf at Kinokuniya Kuala Lumpur. It is an extremely beautiful book, very well organised too. I like how you different sections that contribute to a greater understanding of the recipes. Keep on rocking! i hope you have another book in the works lol
  • @1Ggirl1959
    Hey Pailin, I just wanted to say I love your channel. I have wanted to make Thai food for a long time. I have your 2 books and have learned so much. I made your stir fry sauce and made the best shrimp stir fry I have ever tasted. It had sugar pea pods, broccoli, onion, mushrooms, carrots, and garlic. My family loved it. So tomorrow I am making this one. Thank you so much! My Thai cooking is finally getting to be really good thanks to you!
