Finally made something from a new cookbook I have been reading through ("Dinner, Changing the Game).I have liked Melissa Clark's recipes in the past, and this one was pretty good although I would change a little: chicken with sesame oil, ginger, garlic and dark soy. I have to make a few substitutions: I didn't have any cashews so I used a handful of mixed nuts (not bad), I used white wine instead of rice wine, and I skipped the dates altogether (I suppose I could have used prunes but I just didn't see what it would add). Also, I thought there was way too much cilantro (and I like cilantro). Overall it was tasty enough but not that different from the basil chicken of the previous week. Served with white rice and broccoli.
