Classic. Whether it’s a cola, a car, or a cocktail shaken not stirred, the word denotes something timeless and perfected. Classic also has a great alliterative quality with cashew chicken, but that's not why we named this dish as we did. We named it “classic” because that salty nut and succulent chicken combination represented here is as it has been in Chinese take-out for time immemorial. Both are augmented with a sauce with, ahem, classic flavors: teriyaki, ginger, soy, and a hint of heat with red pepper flakes.
