Notes
Sate sauce and chilli bean sauce are available in Chinese supermarkets or online - Jimmy's brand sate sauce is popular amongst the UK's Chinese takeaway restaurants. Whichever brand you use, add the sate sauce only at the very end of the cooking process as its flavour can be lost if cooked for too long.
