Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Excellent - will make these again. I used bought frozen steamed buns. Next time, I would cut the chicken thighs into thirds (half was too big) & I would skip the sliced red chile peppers (too spicy). We had some confusion about the size of the cut for the julienne carrots & decided to use a julienne peeler to cut them very finely - which seemed correct. We brined the chicken & made the carrots the night before.
