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.

    Can substitute Sichuan pickled red chillies for red chillies.

    This was what it says it is - an "everyday" sort of recipe that is nice but not especially the best of its type.

    We did not care much for this recipe, it was quite bland. I usually love chicken thigh meat but I did not like it in this stir-fry. The vegetables were ok, but I will not make it again.

    I tripled this recipe to serve 4. I used the celery but skipped the cucumber and used haricots verts instead. On the whole the dish was easy and tasty enough, but it didn't wow me. You need to be heavy handed with the spice and the soy.
