[GLUTEN-FREE!!!] SPRINGFIELD STYLE CASHEW CHICKEN



[gluten-Free!!!] Springfield Style Cashew Chicken image

For anyone who misses the fun of Springfield, Mo Style Cashew Chicken. If you're gluten-free like me, use the following method to fry: Mix 1 part Rice flour, 1 part Tapioca starch, 1 part Cornstarch with whatever spices you like. Split this mixture in to two bowls. In a third bowl, beat 2 eggs and add between 1/4 and a 1/2 cup of milk, until it just forms an emulsion. Set up the bowls like so: Flour, Eggs, Flour. Now, take your cut up chicken bits, drop in the first flour bowl and coat lightly, but completely. Move to egg mixture, I let it soak for about 10 seconds. Last, drop in the last flour bowl and cover well. Drop in a hot pan with 1/4 inch or so of oil and cook for 3 minutes on each side, or until brown.

SPRINGFIELD CASHEW CHICKEN



Springfield Cashew Chicken image

Springfield, Missouri is the home of Cashew Chicken. This is supposed to be Leong's original recipe. Leong and his brother Gee developed this famous dish, creating a fried chicken with an Asian flair in the 1960s. This is the closest recipe I have ever found to tasting like the original. And since it is supposed to be the original, maybe that is why? There are numerous variations of this famous dish, so it is how you remember it! Make your favorite fried rice or order from your favorite restaurant to go along with the chicken. Enjoy!

SPRINGFIELD, MO CASHEW CHICKEN



Springfield, Mo Cashew Chicken image

My grandparents lived in Joplin, MO (just down the road from Springfield) and this has always been one of my favorite comfort foods. This is very different from the cashew chicken found in Asian restaurants in the rest of the country. It has been westernized almost to the point of not being Asian at all, but has become a regional favorite. This recipe has been adapted from a recipe found on Grouprecipes.com which is said to be the original recipe from Leong's Tea House in Springfield. I'm not sure if that's true, but it's pretty close to what I grew up with. Prep time includes the resting time for the chicken. The original recipe called for 9 tsp bouillon granules, but we thought it was a bit overpowering so we decreased it slightly. It's also possible to substitute the bouillon with 3 cups of reduced sodium chicken broth.
