    This is by far the best recipe. I WILL NEVER buy from a Chinese again. Brilliant and easy to make . The only expense is the sirloin but it’s worth every penny. Will make again soon.

    My other half was inspired to cook this after looking through the cook book. The dish was fantastic, we both really enjoyed the meal. It’s even inspired my partner to try more of your recipes, which I can’t wait for. This will become a favourite here. Fab!
