lol
as you probably know, chinese is real hard/labour intensive/costly to make from scratch..so I cheat, like a lot of Chinese restaurants do :)
Mayflower curry sauce mix (2 boxes for 2 tokens from Farmfoods)
I've tried curry concentrate from Chinese supermarket but to me this is far cheaper and tastes better
Chicken breast coated in some plain flour
Add approx 5 tbsp Mayflower powder to approx 500ml COLD water in a mixing jug
Chop 1 No onion and fry in a DRY pot with a pinch of sugar for 5 mins over high heat to caramelise onions.
put onions aside in a bowl once cooked
Add cold curry mixture to same pot and cook for 10 mins. This will really thicken up..if too thick, add some water..keep stirring :) dont burn the pot
I also add 1 tsp Chilli powder, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp curry powder to the mix
Add coated chicken and cook for approx 10 mins over a lowish-medium flame
Add caramelised onions and cook for a further 2 mins..

JOB DONE>>EAT>>ENJOY :)

Hi,
Yes your right the mayflower sauce is very good.
I use the mayflower hot sauce now.
I  looked into buying direct for 12 packs as the
hot sauce is hard to find, the postage is around ?10 min order :-(

I find the mayflower hot sauce very good for party's etc
but i some times add 1/8-1/4 tea spoon of five spice
esp near the use by date.

I precook all the ingredients onions, mushrooms etc
make the sauce then add the precooked ingredients back
into the sauce, job done :-)

Farmfoods dont seem to stock the hot sauce.

Farmfoods only stock the medium mix...that's why I add some curry powder and some hot chilli powder
works a treat :)
Cheers :)
