1 lup cheong sausage, diced
4 spring onions, sliced into rounds

1 organic egg
handful Cashew nuts fried crushed
100ml light soy sauce
40ml Shao sing cooking wine

Wow. This looks really amazing and tasty. It does have some ingredients im not used to using so I’d have to source them from somewhere but that shouldn’t be a problem. The flavours look like they’d go really well together and I’m definitely keen to give this recipe a go. Thank you.
