Footnotes:

I decided to try this recipe on a whim. Of all the ingredients, I didn't have chicken broth, cashew nuts and peanut oil. So instead of the chicken broth, I just used water with a pinch of salt and instead of peanut oil, I used vegetable oil, the oil I generally use for frying. As for the cashews, I didn't replace it with anything. I just didn't use any. Yet the recipe turned out great. So, this goes in my recipe collection blog!
