    A really tasty meal - my 7 year old said it was fantastic! I added extra ginger, and used less sugar. I also used half fish sauce and half soy. Delicious!

    An easy and very tasty way to use leftover chicken and vege odds and ends. I made two versions - one vege (for my child) and one with chicken. Adapted it as some others have done - used finely sliced shallots and added mange-tout. Loved the cashews - found a lot of spices and browning stuck to them - great flavours. And nice bulking out. try half/half fish/soy for the next meat-based version, plus would be tempted to use little or no sugar. Like the idea of adding ginger, too. Might even slice some chillies into it. All in all delicious, plus has lots of potential for future variations. Could always leave out or reduce the amount of nuts, if wanting fewer calories.
