I have had this recipe in my folder for a while but tried it for the first time last night and it was well liked by the family
Honey & Soy Chicken
by Sandra Cronyn WA
800g Chicken thighs cut into bite size pieces
1cm piece of ginger
1 clove of garlic
140g Soy sauce
130ml water
160g honey
1 teaspoon paprika
30g olive oil
2 heaped tablespoons cornflour
Toasted sesame seeds to garnish
Chop ginger and garlic for 5 sec speed 7.
Add oil and saute 2 mins, 100 deg, speed 1
Add chicken and cook 2 mins, 100 deg, reverse, speed soft.
Add remaining ingredients and cook 15 mins 100deg, reverse speed soft.
Serve on rice sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds
Tweeks
I only used 400g of chicken as only 3 people eating, kept the the sauce same and there was a nice lot of sauce.
I didn't use big heaps tablespoons of cornflour,
I used 2 garlic cloves.
Changes made by other forum members.
Uni used prawns, garlic and ginger.
People have found that there is a lot of sauce. Some froze the extra, others have had it over eggs, rice, pasta.
Judy added frozen vegies to the sauce.
Cookie1 made the sauce in the *:. Partially cooked the chicken in a frypan and then poured the sauce over. While it finished cooking she did the rice in the thermomix.
Kulsha her comments.I also used 2 cloves of garlic and normal tablespoon of cornflour - but halved the soy sauce, water and honey to reduce the amount of sauce (kept all of the other seasonings the same), I only had a standard woollies type tray of chicken (about 500grams) - these quantities were perfect for 2 of us with some leftovers (we will fight over who will get this for lunch tomorrow) ... I kept the same cooking time - and it turned out perfect, the chicken was tender and there was still more than enough sauce for the rice and vegies. Oh and I sprinkled with a few crushed peanuts as I didn't have any sesame seeds...
Wonder suggested using the sauce as a marinade. Possibly without the cornflour. Said it was lovely as a marinade for grilled chicken.
Amy used Worcestershire sauce and soy. Added steamed peas and corn when it was cooked. She also loved it with Hokkein noodles.
Kimmy added capsicum and carrots halfway through the cooking time.
KazandCo suggested I put some Singapore noodles in the bottom of the thermoserver then drained the sauce from the chicken, chucked the chicken ontop of the noodles then whacked the temp up to Verona, added a little more cornflour & reduced the sauce for 5 mins. Made it extra yummy! mixed it all together then sprinkled with the seeds. Next time I'll reduce the honey by a smidge.
GreyhoundMum 600 g chicken
1/2 cup frozen peas added towards the end of cook time
1/2 cup bamboo shoots
And a large handful of raw cashews.
I used slightly less honey about 100 g and a combination of dark soy, light soy and kepap manis (sweet soy)
Oh I also added 1/2 red chilli deseeded at the beginning with the ginger and garlic
Phatasafairy made considerable changes. They can be seen here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=6371.120).
SuzieG reduced honey and soy, added oyster sauce and Chinese 5 spice instead of paprika.
Kulsha replaced honey with 60g lemon juice for lemon soy chicken.
Kimmy made a half batch of sauce and stirred it through some vegies and hollies noodles.
Cornish Cream reduced the honey to 100g and threw in some snow peas.

nice and easy. will be making this one very soon
thanks for posting
ciao
-
Me too, love simple recipes with ingredients on hand. Thanks rainbow.
-
Thanks for this one Rainbow. Have just had a taste and it is lovely. Pretty sure it will become a regular on our menu. So easy and so yummy. Got any more like this one?? Roxy
-
Rainbow, just wanted to let you know that this got the thumbs up from everyone - even my two fussy ones - DS - 18yr old and DD - 6 yr old. Very happy and will definitely be made again, maybe by one of my DS's.
-
Glad you enjoyed Roxy, always good when the family gives the thumbs up
:)
-
This looks nice and easy and good for the budget. Will have this on my menu plan next week. Just looking at doing it now.
Thanks for posting.
There is only 3 of us, did you waste much sauce by halving the chicken.
Hally
-
will be make this 2 nite DH not a fan of chicken will be replace it with prawns
hally if you have too much sauce left over you can always pour it over rice
-
Good thinking Fundji thanks :)
h
Hally
-
Thumps up Rainbow made with prawns. Add 200g prawn to garlic and ginger for 1 min then cook for 5 mins only. Will freezes the left over sauce.
-
We tried it for dinner tonight. Used 2 Chicken Breasts weighing 800g all up. There was sufficient sauce for 3 Breasts that size. The sauce will get used on toast with maybe some eggs over the next day or so.
We will do this one again.
-
Should this be moved into the recipes section rather than recipe reviews?? It would be a shame if future posters missed out on this lovely looking recipe ;) ;)
-
you are right katya I hadn’t notice it was in the recipe review section
-
Yum will be cooking this next week
-
I hadn't noticed either :-)) :-)) One of our moderators may be kind enough to move it over, lock, stock and barrel.
-
I am making a double batch of the sauce to keep in fridge minus the corn flour to use for a marinade for ribs, chicken wings or seafood
ciao
-
Yes I thought the left over sauce would be good for a marinade.
Looking forward to making it.
Hally
-
I was happy for it to be saucey Hally but was concerned if I reduced the sauce I wouldn't get the right dish if you see what I mean. If any one does reduce the sauce to fit a smaller recipe please post. I am happy for the recipe to be moved if it can be, thanks to all who have tried it. ;D
-
I have frozen ½ the sauce rainbow. I will use it next week, let you know how it goes
-
Made this last night - delish everyone loved it.
I used 1 kilo of chicken thighs and still plenty of sauce.
-
Thanks for the update. I am going to make the 800g and freeze 1/2, f there's any left. Just recently we have all been eating more than we should ;D
Hally
-
I am making this for dinner tonight- really looking forward to it :) Will report back.
-
Just made this for dinner formtomorrow night. We have tennis on a Wednesday so home late.
It is delicious.. Made the full amount of sauce and only and 2 chicken breasts which weighted 500g, so lots of sauce but I reckon I will get eaten bu being poured all over theride.
Quick and easy and very very tasty to make.
Hally
-
I have just printed this one out. We love chicken in this house so different ways of preparing it is always appreciated.
Thanks for sharing.
-
Made this tonight. It was a nice simple dish that the kids loved. It will be good for busy nights when I need tom get dinner out quickly. I steamed some green beans (not in the varoma... I forgot) to get the vegetable quota in.
-
Sorry for the delay in moving this. I only just noticed it. :P :P
-
Rainbow, this recipe is delicious. As you can see from the photo, I microwaved some frozen stir fried vegies and added them to the finished dish. I used 600g thigh fillets (defatted weight) but left everything as per the recipe.
I know some people don't like using thigh meat because it takes forever to remove the fat but if you buy organic ones, it takes very little time as there is so much less fat. Dearer yes but so worth the extra cost when you don't have to spend too much time to prepare them.
-
I have just printed this one out and added it to the menu plan for next week.
JD do you think some thinly sliced veg could be added in with the chicken? Is there enough sauce to cook them in?
-
Yes Chelsea, plenty of sauce so that would work.
-
Judy I always use chicken thighs and after buying them at many different places I find Woolworths is the best place by far, hardly any fat and no bits of bone. Some places you buy them are full of fat and bone and you lose so much of the thigh before you start.
-
Are they just ordinary chicken thighs Yvette not the more expensive organic ones?
-
Judy they are just the ordinary chicken thighs.
-
This is a fabulous recipe,thanks Rainbow. :-*
-
This one was a bit rich and overpowering for us unfortunately. We ended up having yogurt and fruit for tea. You can't win them all. ;D
-
Sorry you didn't enjoy, but the fruit and yogurt sounds very healthy. :)
-
No worries. It just goes to show that we all have different tastes as it has otherwise been receiving rave reviews. :)
-
Its good to see honesty on here. Not everyone likes the same things. If I try a recipe I don't like I either throw it or tweak it (Depends on how bad it was)
-
With all the rave reviews I thought we had better try this. I like to use chicken breasts and we don't really like the way they break up in the TMX so I made a few modifications. I cooked the breasts in the non stick, made the sauce in the TMX and then poured it over the partially cooked breasts. While they simmered on low I cooked the rice in the TMX.
We loved it and it received DH's greatest praise-"This would be a good one in the van." I think he has a one track mind at the moment. ;)
-
now thats a good idea Cookie1, Some times we need to tweak recipes to suit our family's.
-
Made this tonight MMMMMMMMMMM!!!! well actually my 8 yo DD made it while I supervised!
Made Chinese stir fry veggies from EDC and out in thermoserve and then made honey soy chicken dish.
Served with 2 min noodles - cos that's how we roll in this house.
Thanks will def be making this one again...
-
This recipe was a HUGE success for me and it's a definite 'keeper' - thanks rainbow.
I also used 2 cloves of garlic and normal tablespoon of cornflour - but halved the soy sauce, water and honey to reduce the amount of sauce (kept all of the other seasonings the same), I only had a standard woollies type tray of chicken (about 500grams) - these quantities were perfect for 2 of us with some leftovers (we will fight over who will get this for lunch tomorrow) ... I kept the same cooking time - and it turned out perfect, the chicken was tender and there was still more than enough sauce for the rice and vegies. Oh and I sprinkled with a few crushed peanuts as I didn't have any sesame seeds...
-
Thank you Rainbow for sharing this, it was scrummy though getting sickly into the second ladles worth of sauce and chicken. I can understand where Chelsea is coming from. Will def be doing this again and left overs for tomorrow (poss sandwich?
Missus liked it too though wants mr to add thin carrot strips and bean sprouts (yuck!)
-
haha tarasis a bit of green wont kill you :P
-
We'll see about that, trying to eat them as a kid tended to make me wretch so I try and avoid them as best I can :)
-
Delicious! DS1 who is 3, and everything is yuck at the moment, even announced it is yummy. Winner! :)
-
Yummy! Will try halving the sauce like Kulsha suggested next time. Found there was a bit too much, but its definitely a keeper
-
I just made this tonight using skinned thigh bits with no bones in it. All the kids loved it. I think I 'heaped' my tablespoons of corn flour a little too much so I added a little extra water at the end and cooked it for another few minutes - so that is the only changed I'd make.
My fussy 4 year old even gobbled it up! Thanks for the recipe, will now be on our fortnightly menu I think!
cheers Jo and Co :-*
-
I was thinking of cooking the sauce from this recipe to reduce it slightly and then once cooled using it as a marinade for chicken thighs to be cooked tomorrow on the BBQ. Has anyone tried using the recipe as a marinade? Do others think this would work?
-
Wonder I can't see why it wouldn't work. I would perhaps leave the cornflour out though. I have never added cornflour to any of my marinades as I prefer it runny to really be able to soak into the meat.
-
Sorry I should have added I won't be inlcuding the cornflour. I thought if I cooked and reduced slightly it might give a better marinade.
-
A couple of people suggested earlier that this is what they were going to do Wonder, it would have to work so give it a go and post some feedback please.
-
... or perhaps rather than reducing by cooking it down, reduce the quantity in recipe and add a dash more soy sauce? ... I think it would make a lovely marinade, I love the sauce in this dish. Its one of our regulars.
-
I'll give it a go tonight and post feedback on Wednesday after our BBQ tomorrow night.
-
Made this last week, was an absolute hit we had it with rice noodles(well DH did), and for the rest of us I used some left over 2 min noodles in the cupboard. Yes there was a fair amount of sauce, but that just made our children scrap the plates to finish it off. ;D ;D
-
This tasted lovely as a marinade on grilled chicken. We had the chicked with salad and potato bake but it would be lovely with the marinade cooked to pour over rice.
-
Thanks Rainbow, we all enjoyed this quick & super easy recipe!
I used 500g of chicken with half the water, soy & honey.

-
Who's DD was it that says "Yum yum fairy's bum"? I can't remember now but we all shared that sentiment and more for this recipe!
A definite keeper! My DH made it and has noted some tweaks on his paper copy (less water, less cooking time for the chicken) but we all really, really, really enjoyed this meal.
-
That would be Spanner's daughter Kerryn.
-
Made this today for tonight's dinner, had to have a little try, boy is my family going to love this :) will have it with rice and steam vegetables. It makes a lot of sauce which the rice is going to love :D
-
This dish is awesome :)
I've started meal planning again and this fortnight it's all going to be done in the TM, this was the first night.
We had it with rice and steamed vegies and it's all gone :)
We used about 500g chicken as that's what we divide our batches into and it worked well only cause hubby wasn't eating, when we do it next we'll tweak it and use 1kg so there's leftovers for lunch.
Very impressed.
-
Wow! This was amazing, we had it with rice and steamed beans. This will definitely be a regular meal in this house.
-
This is one of our favorites too :)
-
oo can't wait to try - so many rave reviews! will report back.. it's on the menu this week :)
-
;) This was sensational!! Great quick recipe and my kids loved it too... thank you! I will try adding some vegies like broccoli and cauliflower next time.. (we had it with jasmine rice tonight ... mmmmmmmm)
-
Hi mardi, thanks for posting a review for your first posting. Why not pop over to the Introduce Yourself thread and tell us a bit about yourself so that we can all officially welcome you to the forum.
-
I cooked this for dinner tonight :)
I halved the recipe and then realised that I only had 15ml of say sauce in the fridge :o
So I made the rest up with Worcestershire :-\
Added some steamed peas and corn when it was done ;D
Served it with rice ;D
And it was very very nice :D
-
Sounds delicious, another one for my menu board this week ;D
-
Happy household tonight after this one- thanks for it it will be a regular on our menu too- I think it would be delicious with hokien noodles. The chicken was lovely and tender- I can never stir fry it that way! :)
-
Hokkein noodles, great idea CGL!! We have some in the pantry so I might make this again this week and use them ;D
-
Let us know how it goes Amy! :)
I think you could soak them in boiling water and then drain and stir them through on reverse at the end?
-
Making this right now with the noodles. I think it will work well :)
Photos to come soon ;)
-
The verdict is in.... :-))
This makes a perfect all-in-one meal! I soaked a 440g packet of thin egg hokkien noodles and added them in the last five minutes of cooking with 1 cup of peas and a small tin of drained corn kernels. I chopped the noodles up a bit before adding them.
Perfection! Will be making it like this from now on, so easy and tasty ;D ;D ;D
-
Thats great Amy- cuts out having to cook the rice first or wait for it to cook once you have done the chicken! I am all for faster meals around here! :) Oh my goodness- it looks like that is my FIRST Thermomix suggestion! hahah. Look at that!
-
Oh my goodness- it looks like that is my FIRST Thermomix suggestion! hahah. Look at that!
Congratulations CGL, it was a fantastic one ;) ;D
-
I like the noodle idea too! We make this regularly too and I normally just do rice separately. Perfect ! Can't wait to try the noodles !!
-
Aside from the use of TMX- I just cannot cook rice right!!!! Id love to be able to cook it whilst cooking something else though but I am afraid I just have to use my thermoserver and be patient!
-
I still use my rice cooker I find it easier to time everything that way
-
I'm new so please bear with me, is it possible to cook the chicken first, then put it in the varoma on some baking paper to keep warm while I steam the rice? I don't have a thermoserver just yet.
-
Good idea Becci but if you have a casserole dish that fits in the varoma that might be less messy. I don't really think you can overcook chicken thighs and hopefully the sauce won't dry out. From memory there is plenty of sauce in that recipe though.
You could just sit the casserole dish on the lid (MC off) too, that should keep it warm enough whilst the rice is cooking or you could just reheat it for a short time in the microwave too. Give it a go though and let us know how it worked out.
-
I like the idea of the dish on top of the lid, I will give that a go. Thankyou
-

Yes Judy, very saucy :)
Good luck with whatever method you decide to use Becci ;)
-
A good old casserole dish in the oven can be just as good as a thermoserver too! :)
-
I shredded my chicken somehow :/ I used reverse and soft speed so I'm not sure why. Sauce is delicious, I will never buy store bought honey soy sauce ever again!
-
How strange about your chicken Becci ???
But its amazing how easy the sauce is, and it tastes so much better than store-bought! ;D
-
Went down a treat despite the shredded chicken 😉
-
I guess it would have been easier to eat! :-))
Always look for the silver lining ;)
-
I don't have a thermoserver just yet.
On the case!
-
Hi! I made this for tea tonight as anything "honey soy" goes down well! However, I didn't have any thigh fillets, but had some breast fillets that were approaching their use by date. I think that was a big mistake. The chicken ended up shredded, even though I had it on reverse :( Everyone else's photo's look so nice and appetizing!
If I make it again, I will definitely use thighs. (I normally use thigh fillets for most things these days as I find they often have more flavour...I just happened to buy breast fillets for a change this week)
The sauce was good, but I think I would reduce the soy sauce and maybe the honey a little bit next time. It was a little bit strong and sweet for my kids (which is strange because my daughter always asks to lick the spoon after using golden syrup!)
I absolutely love the suggestion of serving with hoikkin noodles. The photo looks amazing! Enough to make me want to try it again!
Thanks for posting the recipe!
-
I used breast too, had a few little shredded bits but nothing problematic!
-
How strange with all this shredded chicken business ??? I never realised there was such a big difference between using thigh or breast! :o
Blackwood, if you make it again and use the hokkein noodles, I wouldn't recommend reducing to sauces too much. There was just enough in my dish to coat the noodles nicely. If you do reduce something, I'd suggest making it up with some other liquid ;)
In saying that, I will probably reduce the honey next time because when mum had it for lunch the next day, she said the honey came through quite strong :-))
-
Made this last night and it was fantastic. Made sauce in TM and added chopped capsicum and carrots half way through cooking time. Moved all into saucepan to simmer whilst I made rice in TM. Added prawns (because no chicken in house for first time ever) to simmering sauce and cooked for a few minutes. Delicious and so versatile. Thank you so much this is on our favourites list forever!
-
this is really nice with prawns instead of the chicken and a sprinkle of roasted sesame seed
-
Yep, I was thinking that Amy. I think I'll make it again with the noodles, but maybe reduce the soy sauce and honey slightly and replace with stock maybe?
I don't know why my chicken shredded, next time I use chicken breast in the tMX I will cut the pieces larger. (like I said, I'm not used to using the breast, I usually use thigh)
It is really versatile! I think the marinade suggestion is a great one too!
-

I'll be trying that next time Uni ;D

Stock sounds like a good idea Blackwood ;) Good luck when you make it again!
-
This recipe is very similar to one I made a few weeks back and it was divine just cooked on the stove top. I ripped it out of an old newspaper I had come across. I am making this for dinner tonight so am looking forward to seeing how it comes out in the thermomix.
-
Okies,it has been made & eaten here.
The verdict is..... It was very delicious!
It had a lot of sauce which I loved as I like to drown my rice with it.
I garnished it with thin slices of spring onion & chilli.
(http://i49.tinypic.com/vi3ad3.jpg)
-
That looks great Foxx.
-
Yummo Foxx, well done :D
-
I made this again last night with thigh fillets and it was much better than the breast meat which shredded. Yum!
-
Yay, so glad it worked better for you this time. I made the same mistake using chicken breast fillets, so I'll have to try it again with thigh fillets too!
-
Thanks Judy,thanks Amy. :)
-
I tried this with prawns tonight. I made half the sauce so it doesn't look real saucy. Next time will chop the tails off the prawns first to make it easier to eat. DH not keen on prawns but I liked it...
(http://img.tapatalk.com/9587932c-f320-6c14.jpg)
-
I made this tonight as per the recipe (except for breast instead of thighs) and I loved it. The little girl visiting liked it :), but my children didn't :(. That is typical, anything that is easy for me is something they don't like.
Oh well back to the drawing board!!
-
thats a shame Crompo its a nice dish, what do your girls like to eat ?
-
Three like Chilli, roast lamb, pies, roast potatoes , stir fry and fried rice. And one is a vego who eats rice, pasta, raw veggies and berry smoothies. I am going crazy trying to find something that everyone likes at the same time. Funnily enough they all like cakes and bickkies. My thermo is getting a good run in the cakes section.
-
I have this cooking now! I decreased the water, honey & soy by 40 grams each as I didn't have enough soy so hope it's still ok!
Edit!
This was yum! I put some Singapore noodles in the bottom of the thermoserver then drained the sauce from the chicken, chucked the chicken ontop of the noodles then whacked the temp up to Verona, added a little more cornflour & reduced the sauce for 5 mins. Made it extra yummy! mixed it all together then sprinkled with the seeds. Next time I'll reduce the honey by a smidge.
-
thanks, just printed this too
-
I have been wanting to try this for a while.. I altered it slightly and used
600 g chicken
1/2 cup frozen peas added towards the end of cook time
1/2 cup bamboo shoots
And a large handful of raw cashews.
I used slightly less honey about 100 g and a combination of dark soy, light soy and kepap manis (sweet soy)
Oh I also added 1/2 red chilli deseded at the beginning with the ginger and garlic.
I won't be eating tonight as I am out...I hope they like it 😄
-
Fingers crossed GHM... but I can assure you it is a brilliant recipe ;D
-
Oh my gosh! How yum is this! I have to stop using the word yum around here! I use it way too much! Left overs packed up for son's lunch for a few days :)
I added carrots, spring onions and red capsicum too :)
-
I have to stop using the word yum around here! I use it way too much!
There's no such thing as too much yum ;D ;D ;D
-
Made this again tonight but used thigh instead of breast and it has turned out nice. I couldn't believe how much fattier it was though :-\
-
breast is best NF
-
Did you trim the fat NF?
-
NF, I prefer thighs to breasts in this type of dish but I spend 1/2 hour removing the fat from a packet of thighs - it is worth the effort but is very time consuming. Not all the fat is visible, there is a little pocket of fat that hides beneath the flesh but it is not safe with me around :-))
-
;D
-
I like thighs better too but find the de-fatting fiddly so lately I've been using tenderloins, just cut in half, they work well in this dish.
-
I spent ages cutting the fat off. Funnily enough the thighs shredded and the breast didn't!
-
Thats odd NF, I would have expected the breasts to shred and the thighs to stay in pieces. That has been my experience anyway ???

You are very patient and dedicated Judy - I try to defat the thighs, but get fed up quickly and cant be bothered. I end up wasting good meat because I chop it off with the fat in frustration. I would gladly pay more to the butcher (or anyone) who defatted the thighs properly for me.
Hey thats an idea for a home business for you Judy - you could sell defatted chicken thighs and make a fortune :D :D :D
-
Thats odd NF, I would have expected the breasts to shred and the thighs to stay in pieces. That has been my experience anyway ???
When I read through everyones comments I was positive that is the way it was going to happen! I was very very shocked! The thigh was very succulent though!
-
Good idea Karen if you could get someone to do it - that person wouldn't be me as it is very tiring, back-breaking work. Even a butcher wouldn't take enough fat off for my liking ;)
-
We made this tonight - it was yummy!! We made it with chicken breasts but forgot to reduce the cooking time, so the chicken was a bit overdone, however it was still really tasty and we'll tweak it next time. I'd also probably add some more cornflour next time as the sauce was very runny. It will make a great salad dressing tomorrow though!!
-
Ripa recipe for an old favourite in our house. Thanks.
-
this sounds very yum .... i am adding it to my menu this week .... might do it thursday when hubby is home ;D
-
Its delicious Sammi, you won't be disappointed ;D
-
decided i am doing now for dinner =)
-
i made this and did a bit of tweaking .... but this is the end result
-
Hi PAP well done on your personal goals, may I ask what we're you tweaks for this one? It does look nice.
-

pour chicken and noodles into serving bowl
remove sesame seeds and sprinkle over the top
then sprinkle shallots over the top
and it was very VERY very delicious --- i found i had no sauce left over and it was just right.

Looks delicious Sammi :D

I made a few tweaks including reducing honey and soy quantities slightly and adding some oyster sauce and using Chinese 5 spice instead of paprika. Yummy

Looks great Suzie! :D

Thanks for sharing your tweaks PAP looks yum

Made this for dinner two nights ago. Quick and easy, well liked by all family members :)
Cooked brown rice in Thermo first, then transferred to Thermoserver, before making the chicken. Steamed some veg in the microwave as there wasn't enough steam to cook them in the varoma. Will be making again!

Looks great C83

I made a no-sugar option tonight, replaced honey with 60g of lemon juice for 'lemon soy chicken' - worked well. Must admit the honey version is yummier though.
-
Kulsha ..... i love the sound of the lemon .... i might try this next time.
-
Made this again tonight with chicken breast and hokkien noodles. Delicious. Added sliced carrot and capsicum and sautéed with garlic and ginger 5min. Added all sauce ingredients and cooked for 15 min adding chicken with 10min to go. No shredding. Yeh!
-
I'm going to try it that way Kimmy, sounds great ;D
-
*BUMP*
For any newbies who haven't seen this one :D
I made it again tonight, using Kimmy's method. I put in some extra vegetables so I increased the sauce. I lost the balance of flavours slightly, the soy came through a bit strong, but it was still delicious as always!!! ;D
-
looks good Bella
-
Thanks Uni :D :-*
-
Looks good Amy
-
Lively meal Amy. Just like a photo off a Chinese takeaway menu!
-
Thanks ladies :D :-*
Kimmy, I'm pretty sure the chicken was dead so it wasn't that lively LOL :D :D :D
-
Lol :D Damn you auto correct.
-
I have just made this cant wait to sit down soon and eat it
-
I made this today and it turned out alright. I didn't have cornflour so it came out a bit too watery but that's ok. I might reduce the amount of honey the next time I do it too, thought that it was overpowering. Maybe it's the type of honey I used.
I liked it anyway :)
-
This sounds really good I will have to give it a try tonight!
-
it is nice TF i have made it many times, nice with prawns instead of the chicken 2
-
I made a half batch of sauce and used it to toss thru some stir fry veggies and hollies noddles. Very yummy.
-
Thankyou! It's in my recipe folder and will be cooked soon 😄
-
This was awesome!
-
I decided on this favourite tonight after finding chicken thighs in the freezer. ;D
I reduced the honey to 100g and threw in a handful of mangetout with five minutes to go.Served it with Egg Noodles.
-
Had to google mangetout CC. It's such a horrid sounding name for such a lovely vegetable. Us Aussies know it as snow peas or snap peas. Just perfect for this recipe 😊
-
I agree Kimmy. CC how do you actually pronounce it?
-
I say " mange two" cookie :D :D :D
-
In your best French accent Denise? ;D
-
Of course Judy :D :D :D
-
Thanks. I thought it was "manj. Tout" but that sounds awful. Like a disease.
-
That's what I thought too cookie.
