Tips/Tricks

  • there are plenty of great Szechuan sauces available in the shops these days so feel free to simplify the recipe and grab one of them instead!
  • always make sure you stir/break up the mince so you aren’t left with lumpy uncooked bits
  • all the little garnishes may seem overkill but believe me one thing Asian cuisine does SO well is add extra bites and pops of flavour through garnish like chili, peanuts and herbs so don’t skimp!
