Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The sweet-and-sticky sauce is a highlight for many, though some find the overall balance too sweet or too salty. Adding a squeeze of tomato purée or a little chilli can help balance the flavour.
- Ease of prep: This is a genuinely quick weeknight dish that even younger or less experienced cooks can handle with confidence.
- Suggestions: Add a red pepper, sliced spring onions, or mushrooms to bulk out the vegetables and add contrasting flavour. Pre-cooking the green beans for a few extra minutes helps ensure they are fully tender before the sauce goes in.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers reheat well the following day, making it a practical choice for lunch or a second dinner.
- Portions: Some feel the rice portion is on the small side, particularly for larger households; consider supplementing with extra rice if cooking for four or more.
