About

This is another of my tried and tested teen crowd pleasers. Not a sickly, over syrupy sauce, it is a healthier spin on the takeaway favourite and is cooked in 20 minutes and contains no nasty additives!

Main course

Method

Combine all the ingredients except the zest and juice of 1 lemon, the sliced chilli and the spring onions. Pop in the fridge until you’re ready or cook straight away.

Stir in the zest and juice
