Firecracker Chicken Bowl
Tender chicken breast in a glossy firecracker glaze of soy, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger and red chilli, finished with a touch of toasted sesame oil. It’s sweet, sticky and tangy, with a slow kick of heat. We serve it with charred red and yellow peppers, edamame and fluffy basmati flecked with coriander, spring onion and crushed chilli. It tastes like your favourite takeaway, but it’s a lot better balanced.

Tell me when Firecracker Chicken Bowl changes
Recipes get reformulated and portions shrink without an announcement. We read this page every week anyway.
Every figure above is read from what the service publishes, and services change their pages without telling us. If something here does not match this meal as it is sold today, we would rather hear it than print it.
