  Good and very tasty, but a little on the spicy side! Girlfriend not too impressed but my housemates loved it! The mix doesn't really stick to the chicken in my case so I feel it would definately benefit from a food blender rather than a pestle and mortar.

  I used a food processor to do the peanuts, but they still didn't stick very well. It tasted ok, but we weren't that impressed and it was a bit too much work for a weekday meal.

  This recipe was nice. I used a food processor rather than a pestle and mortar to blend the ingredients more. I did add about 4 tbsp of fish sauce to it to make it a little stickier so it would coat the chicken and veg better and add to the thai flavor. I also added some mixed mushrooms (shitake, oyster) and some red pepper which worked well.

  I used crunchy peanut butter which stuck nicely to the chicken. Although I did put too much lime in which I think spoilt it.

  Really delicious way to do a stir-fry. Making a paste, as opposed to adding the ingredients separately as I would normally, makes a huge difference to the flavour. I used cashew nuts instead of peanuts and also added some sweet chilli sauce.

  Great flavours, but a lot of work for a mid-week meal.

  I used half peanut butter and half cashew nuts as that was all I had in! Enjoyed it and the paste made a really nice change.

  One of my favorite stir frys. I have made it several times now and my tip is to just before you serve it, stir in a touch of additional lime zest. Very refreshing. Also tastes amazingly good after freezing and re-heating.

  It was very good, I added some sweet chilli sauce to it. I didn't have pak choi, I used some snap beans instead.

  Really delicious, I added some stir fry vegetables from sainsburys and spinach instead of the pak choi and it was a complete success, will do this meal again for sure!

  A nice tasting and relatively simple recipe, sadly the nutritional information is a bit off. This recipe comes in between 650-700 calories per serving (depending on the type of noodle) rather than the 458 estimated in the info.
