    i add vegetables at the end, brocolli, snow peas, celery sticks all good, and a couple of star anise gives a really nice kick.

    I have made this several times.... I use a kilo of chicken thigh fillets (family of 4) and I add some snow peas and zuccini to the pot.... next time will add in the last 5 minutes of cooking.... very yummy... a big hit in our house...

    I made this but used brown rice instead of jasmine. It took about 40 minutes to cook, so after the suggested time I took the chicken out and allowed the rice to cook. Probably wouldn't do it that way again as I found it too hard not to eat after lifting the lid and smelling all of those flavours. I added broccoli to it and left out the spring onion due to allregies, I think it would be best served with a large portion of steamed asian greens for dinner to balance out the rice.. there's a lot of it.

    I have made this twice now. Super quick and super easy and tastes great. I have taken it to the next step of quick (or lazy) and used chilli and garlic from a jar, dried coriander (added to stock) and frozen onion (also added to the stock). Dinner on the table in 35 - 40 mins. Ideal when you get home from a long day and still have to get dinner on the table

    This recipe was so easy and really yummie, but I am a bit confused by its name, as I believe the flavour was more of a "Thai" flavour than Chinese.

    I made this last night. It was so easy and tasted great. I served it with steamed green veges. Even my fussy one really liked it. I agree with Nikster it does make a lot of rice. Next time I will use extra chicken so 6 or 8 fillets instead of 4.

    This recipe smelt amazing while it was cooking, leave the garlic & ginger big so you can remove it on your plate. I needed to add some liquid as it went a bit dry. I might try adding tamarind or lime next time. It made lots of rice so i used that as a base for the next nights dinner. Worth making again.

    I'm a little confused - don't you have to remove the ginger slices before you serve it?
