  This was a good way to use pork. I added some shredded fresh ginger which I think went well with the lemon and chilli.

  We made this with the ginger suggested above. Great recipe overall, but the amount of sesame seeds seemed excessive and we cut this down considerably - with great results.

  We used 10g of sesame seeds, figured it was a typo! This seems to be the perfect amount! Really yummy though!

  This recipies was nice but not as tasty as I was expecting. I only added 10g of sesame seeds and that was just enough.

  We enjoyed this, used chicken inplace of the pork which worked well. Used less sesame seeds after realising 100gms equalles 2 jars ! Added ready cooked noodles for speed. Will become one of my regular weekday meals.

  This was delicious. Very similar to another sitr fry recipe on here. served with rice & a spud. Was worried there was no sauce but with the flavours coming through as they do you don't really need it. Will be making again. So nice!

  To make this 5 stars I omitted the lemon and added finely chopped garlic, half a chilli, pinch of brown sugar and soy sauce. Used 1 tsp of seeds. I also added broccoli and pak choi to up the veg count. I used pork left over from sunday roast cut into thin strips. Also used groundnut oil instead of butter. Basically I changed the whole recipe....but hey that's the whole idea of BBC Good Food...being inventive! Served with sticky jasmine rice.

  Easy to make and tasted good - although perhaps needed a bit more kick. I cut down on the amount of sesame seeds used in the recipe - 100g is a lot!
