    a fab dinner, I marinated the chicken for 2 hours instead of 15mins. Will be making this one again! I know some of the ingredients re difficult to get but any japanese section in a supermarket should have them!

    This was absolutely delicious, quick and didn't generate too much washing up. Perfect for a mid-week supper.

    Mmmm! Just cooked this for dinner tonight and it's absolutely delicious. The flavours are lovely. Made it with chicken dumplings so it was a filling evening meal for us.

    I'm not a big fan of thighs.. i presume the recipe will work the same with a breast fillet? Has anyone tried this?

    mmmm already rated this meal once but have made it about 10 times since and it's still amazing. haven't made it for friends yet but think it would go down really well at a dinner party. i often just make the chicken and have with other dishes (our favourite is miso chicken with admame & ginger pilaf (http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1840665/chicken-edamame-and-ginger-pilaf) - it's just lovely!!

    Good recipe but I tweeked it a bit for the ingredients I had. I used pork steaks and added a 1/2" grated ginger opted to marinate for an hour or so. Only thing I would change next time is the amount of sugar in the salad, too sweet for me.
