Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour:Â Bold and savoury, though many reviewers found the dish quite salty, often without adding any extra salt.
- Ease of prep:Â Most found this quick and straightforward to make, with minimal cleanup required.
- Suggestions:Â Reduce or omit added salt, and consider using less soy or oyster sauce to keep saltiness in check. Adding cashews, extra ginger, or a splash of sweet chili sauce can round out the flavour nicely.
- Leftovers:Â Some reviewers noted the dish reheats well and makes a satisfying next-day meal.
- Spice level:Â Many found the dish milder than expected even at higher settings; using the full chili-garlic sauce or adding extra is worth considering for heat lovers.
- Vegetables:Â Several reviewers enjoyed the dish more with added vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or extra carrots to bulk it out.
