    • Reviews

  • “Tastes like take out! I really like the flavour of the sauce and was perfect over rice as well. I used Dark Soy Sauce with great results. Thanks for sharing!”

  • “Yummy. We really enjoyed this dinner. I did make quite a few adjustments, though. The mixture in step #1 did not have enough liquid, and I added an extra Tbsp of soy sauce (I assume that’s what soya is?). Also, I used a good full tablespoon of lemon zest in the sauce from step #3, and the full juice of the lemon. Next time I will probably double the sauce from step #3, so that we have more for the rice. This was very yummy and tasted and looked just like we’d gone out for Chinese food.”

  • “Delicious, added more water to the mix… Thx for posting.”
