Does the sriracha sauce make it really spicy? Would it make a huge difference if I left it out?
HollyFriday 14th May 2021
Hey Kirsten, no it won’t make it super spicy you could leave it out or add a little at a time so it doesn’t become to hot for your taste. Hope that helps!
SandraThursday 11th March 2021

I was apprehensive because I don’t like vegetables all that much but in an effort to try to be more healthy, I made this tonight. We don’t like mushrooms so just left them out. Clean bowls all round! So easy to make and absolutely delicious!
SharonThursday 7th January 2021
H Sharmaigne, we’re really pleased you tried this recipe and enjoyed it, thanks for letting us know!
KellyTuesday 5th January 2021
Hi I really don’t like mayo could I use yogurt, sour cream or creme fraiche instead?
SharonTuesday 5th January 2021
Hi Kelly, yes, it should be fine to substitute the mayonnaise with one of your suggestions and adjust the calories accordingly if they are important to you.
Lisa reganWednesday 16th December 2020
Made this recipe last night, wow super tasty just changed the mayo for vegan mayo in the yum yum sauce because husband can’t have it

Hi Rebecca, thanks for your lovely comment. We’re so pleased you all enjoyed this recipe!
lisa georgeThursday 3rd December 2020
The recipe says soy sauce, is that light or dark?
LisaThursday 3rd December 2020
Hi Lisa, we used dark soy sauce, but light would work fine too. Hope you enjoy the recipe!
Heather HoganWednesday 2nd December 2020
I don’t like bell peppers, is there anything I can replace them with ?
HollyThursday 3rd December 2020
Hi Heather, you could double up on the carrot, courgette and mushroom in this recipe to replace the peppers or add some sliced red onion and green beans. Hope that helps!
Heather HoganThursday 3rd December 2020
Thank you, that’s a big help, not just this recipe, but for other recipes that have those yucky peppers in 😁
