Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

These were Amazing!
I added chilli flakes at the end instead of in the marinade as the family don't like spice. So delicious!
I added chunks of sweet red peppers to the chicken marinade before it went in the fridge and used these on the skewers. Added an extra veg to the meal.

You’ll need some metal skewers like these from AmazonThese flat type of metal skewers work really well on a barbecue or on the oven as they prevent the meat from spinning around so it’s easier to make sure they’re evenly cooked.

You could also use bamboo skewers although you’ll need to soak them in water beforehand to make sure they don’t burn and they’re not reusable either!

Made this last night and paired it with sweet potato wedges and salad! Lovely marinade, I did not have any fish sauce but used Lea and Perrins Worcestershire instead. Would 100% make again but next time I will reduce the cooking time slightly.

Hello – are there any substitutes for fish sauce? I’m allergic to fish. Thanks

For batch cooking/freezing would you cook the kebabs and then freeze, later defrost and reheat, or would you marinade then freeze, defrost and then cook? Many thanks
