This recipe is a real box ticker. It’s super quick, it’s super easy and super delicious.
The flavours in the sauce work so brilliantly together and the freshness of the simple cucumber salad brings some value added fresh to the sweet, sticky sauce. Best of all, you can make this in minutes, and still serve up a really beautiful and tasty plate of food.
As Nike would say, just do it!
