Notes

You can leave skin on and bone in or, as i did, just use skinless chicken fillets. I used peanuts (because I burnt the cashews while toasting them...haha) but both would be yummy. I also fried a little onion in oil and wilted the spinach in this .. adds a little flavour to the greens.

  • Yum. quick easy and very tasty… Sounds great :)

  • I’ve always been a bit reluctant to use hoisin, I’m happy to find a recipe that might help me get over that

  • I’ve never used hoisin sauce. I don’t even what it tastes like. Could I use tamari sauce instead?
