So easy to make. Was delicious.
Gong Bao Chicken with Smashed Cucumber salad - really tasty but added too many peanuts!!
It's great you enjoyed this spectacular and succulent dish!
Loved this. A really tasty mix of flavours and a lovely meal. I enjoyed every mouthful
That's what we love to hear! Thanks Kirsty, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Low fuss low carnage deliciousness. Always love the cucumber salads.
Yum - this looks sticky and delicious! Great job!
Sadly no photo - we forgot to take one as we were all so eager to start eating. This was the 3rd spicery kit that we've tried - the other 2 were curries - so this was a departure for us but again we have given the kit another 10/10.I love the fact that it has a side salad for extra flavour and variety in the meal and my daughter loved it because it didn't have too much sauce. Flavour was great - we love hot food and this didn't disappoint in any way...yum
Yum - this looks sticky and delicious! Great job!
This was delicious. Easy to cook, Tangy and flavoursome. The nuts finish it off nicely, and my wife enjoyed smashing the cucumber !
This looks delicious, great job! And smashing up a cucumber is a great way to relieve stress and frustration - haha!
This was excellent! The sauce had quite the kick which built up over the meal. Glad for the cucumber to cool it down a little ;o)
This looks great, Katherine - nice job! We're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed it!
Easy Chinese style dinner - perfect to beat the Monday night blues
YUM this looks spectacular- glad you enjoyed this terrifically tangy recipe!
Great tasting Chinese stir fry and so easy to make much better than a takeaway. Both me and my husband aren’t cucumber fans but we tried the pickled salad and it worked so well. Will definitely be making this one again.
YUM- everything looks wonderful! This is a favourite at Spicery HQ too!
Delicious! Made this last night and it's become a new favourite
Fantastic- this is a favourite of ours too!
The perfect Saturday Night meal, an amazingly rich sauce with a nice bit of crushed Sichuan to spice it up! We've already planned next weekends Curry Discoverers Box ready for a birthday feast!
Delish! Good luck with next weekend
My 15 year old son was given this for his 15th birthday and this was the first recipe he cooked. It was delicious! And fun to make with my teenage son!
Wow - very impressive ... and happy birthday!
Absolutely loved this. It was really easy and the taste was amazing. The cucumber added an extra depth to the flavours. We served with plain rice but would go well with noodles
Really glad you enjoyed it! Happy spicing!
