quantities for different serving sizes

This easily decreases or increases without any problems.

variations for dietary requirements & fun

vegan / vegetarian – Replace the pork with crumbled firm tofu and possibly some finely sliced mushrooms. Use soy or hoisin sauce instead of the oyster sauce.

fun – explore different vegetables or meat. Ground beef or pork would be equally as good. Broccoli, zucchini and red peppers (capsicum) are all great additions.

more substantial – add in a handful of roasted cashews.

troubleshooting guide

too bland – Season with salt & pepper. Next time increase the amount of marinade. Also think about getting better quality chicken, if available.

too dry – Add a little more yoghurt sauce.

chicken not cooked through – return to the grill immediately! Best to test the chicken by cutting into a piece before serving.

chicken tough or dry – a sign of overcooked chicken. Next time check it earlier or chop chicken into larger pieces.

serving suggestions

Great on its own. Or serve as part of an Asian meal with a curry on the side.

Die-hard rice fans will enjoy this with a side of steamed rice. Or for Slow Carb fans try serving with breakfast lentils.

leftover potential

OK. Will keep in the fridge for a week or so. But not as great reheated as when it is hot.
