Absolutely delicious!

Great flavours, easy to put together. I used broccoli instead of cauliflower this time.

Very good. Excellent flavour. Don't miss meat but would be easy to substitute if you wanted to

Amazing recipe! My 12 year old son loved it too, and he has refined tastes! The recipe is so adaptable - I didn’t have a whole cauliflower, so I used frozen cauliflower rice, and it still worked.

Enjoyed this recipe. I used chilli flakes. The measures are a bit confusing 😕

Tanya 7 months ago

Great recipe. Quick and easy to cook and tastes great, we’ll definitely be doing this again soon. Only observation is that you need water to loosen up the sauce when you’ve added it.

Janet 7 months ago

Delicious, really enjoyed the flavours, sesame and ginger are a good combo, peanuts and spring onion make a great crunchy topping.

Scaled up to serve 5 but the sichuan peppercorns were overpowering
