For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for at least 30 minutes before cooking. To toast the cashews, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water or chicken broth to thin it out. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
