AMAZING! Sooooo tasty!!! So easy to make. Gave my husband goosebumps it was that good. We were in awe. Will definitely make again. Full of flavour and far from bland! We didn't use coriander as we both don't like it, but that didn't make it any less tasty!! - 26 Mar 2011
Delicious! But a little salty with the salt, stock and soy as well. Next time I think I won't add the tspn of salt at the start or maybe half a tspn instead. Instead of rice I used udon noodles. - 10 Aug 2012
I tried this recipe with my family and the verdict was that it was a little disapointing and somewhat bland. It seems reminiscent of a westernised chineese recipe from an earlier time and I doubt that I will be revisiting this recipe. - 25 Mar 2010
