Recipe for Chinese Walnuts Chicken?!
Recipe for Chinese Walnuts Chicken?
I've seen two other people ask for this recipe on here, but I don't think the answers they got were for the same thing I'm talking about.
It's in a white, creamy (maybe mayonaise) sauce.
The kinds I've had at Chinese restraunts don't actually have walnuts in it.

It seems to me that the first two answers to my question, seem to be the popular recipe.
But, by looking at the list of ingredients, it doesn't look like it would end up like what I'm talking about. It looks like it would be a darker, more savory sauce.
Am I wrong?
