“Hi Jo, this recipe is SO delicious! As I'm very obsessed with eating my daily macros, I wanted to ask if you have any recommendations for adding a protein source to this recipe? (no pork or tofu though). I though of adding chicken breast or some beef but ho” — a cook, 5.0★
“Delicious 😋 Working our way through your recipes. This was superb, I added 3 chicken breasts and left out the onions. Served with prawn crackers and sweet and sour sauce. Thank you. No need for greasy takeout anymore!” — a cook, 5.0★
