Ghi chú

1 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts can be used, though the meat won't be as juicy. To tenderise the chicken breast, cut the chicken into thin strips instead of bite-sized pieces and follow the directions on pages 170-71. (Chicken thighs don't need to be tenderised.) This recipe can also be made with beef or pork, cut into thin strips and tenderised as per the directions on pages 170-71.

2 Substitute with other vegetables (like carrots and courgettes), either cut into 2 cm squares or into thin bite-sized rounds.
