    Sounds lovely, I do have some walnuts so thought id use those instead of cashews and some chicken strips for a bit of meat.

    Made this last night - loved it! tasted so healthy and fresh after the christmas and new year excesses! served it with some thai jasmine rice on the side. It doesn't need meat - the soya beans and nuts provide protein.

    Made this this evening and it was delicious. I did make some rice for the side, however, only my husband wanted rice - I found the rest of the meal filling enough. I did not have cashews, so I put in some pumpkin seeds - very nice. Very healthy - will do again!

    This was lovely. I did add chicken which i gently fried in groundnut oil seperatly and then added to the pan just after adding the sauce. As i mentionerd earlier we do like meat even if the beans (although i used peas) and nuts do provide protein, just personal prerence i guess. Turned out gorgeous and i would defintly make it again, maybe next time instead of adding chicken i may use Rump steak cut into strips.

    I cooked this for my girlfriend, who is a vegetarian, the other night and she absolutely loved it. I'm not a great cook by any means, so these quick and easy recipes are great for me to get into the swing of cooking and i loved it. The g/f even took the leftovers with us to eat on a journey in the car the following day. Just as yummy cold!

    I cooked this with noodles to bulk it out and had half for lunch the next day. It was still delicious - so much so that I've made it several times now.

    Fastest thing I've ever made, tasty and healthy-feeling too. Read the ingredients in a hurry and missed the five spice hidden behind the say sauce so we didn't have that, will try it next time but didn't really miss it.

    Just made this for a quick Friday supper - I had all the ingredients except the mushrooms, but substituted with chestnut mushrooms I had in the fridge. Really delicious and light - perfect before a night out dancing! Will definitely make again. Served two perfectly, without need for rice or noodles.

    The first time I tasted kale I thought it was horrible and never touched it again until I saw this recipe and decided to give it another try. I'm so glad I did. This recipe is delicious and so unbelievably easy. Even better it costs around £3.50 for a hearty meal for two people.

    This is really tasty. I added prawns. I was convinced it would need rice- although it would be lovely with rice it doesn't need it as it's surprisingly filling on it's own. I've made it twice within a few weeks.

    I found this slightly too salty for my tastes. Would probably use a little less soy sauce next time. Was a bit worried it wouldn't be enough for two in the pan but agree it was filling enough. I used greens rather than kale which I can't seem to find in the supermarkets at the minute. It was so popular a couple of years ago but seems to have gone out of fashion.
