Boil Rice
1

  • Once cooked, drain, pop back in the pan and cover.
Sizzle Time
2
  • Once hot, fry the chicken, mushrooms and mangetout, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cut the lime into wedges. 
Simmer Sauce

  • Next, add the Szechuan paste, soy sauce, ketjap manis, honey and water (see pantry for both).  
  • Bring to the boil and stir. Lower the heat, then simmer, 3-4 mins. 
  • Taste and season. Add a splash of water if needed.
Dinner's Ready!

Enjoy!

Customer reviews

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the sweet and savoury sauce, though some found it too sweet or salty; several wished for more authentic Szechuan spice.
  • Ease of prep: Customers praised the quick and simple preparation, with many noting it was ready in 15-20 minutes.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding more vegetables like peppers or onions; some recommend putting in the mangetout later to keep it crisp.
  • Next-day meals: Several mentioned the dish reheats well, staying moist and flavourful the next day.
  • Portions: Some felt the meal was a bit small, particularly noting not enough chicken or vegetables for their liking.
