If you like your food spicy then this is the dish for you! Full of bold and complex flavours, this packs a punch!
I love making my own Eastern-inspired sauces from scratch. It genuinely doesn’t take as long as you’d think, and I like to know what exactly is in the sauce – no nasty e-numbers or preservatives that can be found in some off-the-shelf versions.
Fragrant, delicious and filling.
