Hi Rebecca, sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy the recipe. We use an asian chilli jam found in most asian supermarkets - it has a great balance of sweet and spice. It is also sold as asian chilli bean paste with soy bean oil. The DH team x

Donna is usually my absolute go to but this dish was very average!!
I’m not sure if she should have specified what chilli jam to use but it was far too sour with the lime juice and the chilli jam didn’t add any flavour aside from chilli…
very disappointed and would in future just follow the recipe on the jar of chilli jam. I’d go as far to say that maybe there was a typo with the recipe and how much lime juice plus chilli jam to use???
