    Can substitute tamari for soy sauce.

    We enjoyed the flavours of this and based on 1 of the comments, when I scaled the chicken & broccoli to 1/2, I made 2/3ds of the sauce. I also added some red onions & sweet peppers to the pan. I set out the follow the instructions, but after blanching the broccoli (a good idea), I bailed on boiling my thinly sliced chicken and just gave it a quick stir fry, adding the cornstarch to the sauce. I don't feel like we missed out by doing this, but I will try this step when I repeat this recipe.

    The basil and cashews elevate the flavors of this dish. The quantity of sauce is very exact. The instruction to salt and cornstarch the raw chicken then boil it for 4 minutes is odd to me. I cooked my unsalted, uncornstarched chicken in very hot but not boiling water, drained it and sprinkled it with salt. I added cornstarch to my soy sauce mixture and cooked it at the end, and it turned out fine.

    Wow, this was extremely quick, easy and tasty. The broccoli was especially good with this sauce and the basil. We ate it with brown rice. Highly recommend for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner.
