I added pre cooked, long life Singapore noodles and pieces of BBQ chicken during the last step and it all came together ready to go.
Great tasty easy recipe. I did 1 tbsp honey instead of sugar also rice wine vinegar. No batter due to dietary requirements and it was loved by all. Thanks
Yummy dish, the family loved it and said it was better than the restaurant
Yum! I just cooked the chicken in a frypan and added to the sauce. Next I'll try with pork.
Yum!!!!! I just steamed the chicken in the veroma and stirred through...is delicious!!
This was definitely better than take away and will we will be having this on a regular rotation. Only changes I made were to add an onion and use Brown sugar and Brown vinegar as they are what I had.
Delicious! My whole family loved it.
I had some left over roast chicken so I just cooked the sauce and added the chicken at the end. Delicious! The family loved it.
