I made this tonight for my dinner and instead of 5 spice added chilli flakes, paprika and cumin to it. I boiled it as said and it reduced lovely I then added some ribbons of carrots, chunky chopped peppers and onions just before serving. My partner is on his SECOND HUGE plate full. Thanks for the recipe x

I only use 1/2 a tin chopped toms and 1/2 a can of diet coke, then leave the lid off to simmer down into a thicker sauce.

Just cant get my sauce to thicken so have decided to go down the cornflour route. Not many syns under 2 so not worth worrying about. But the meal is so declicious, love it.

I'm confused- it mentions oxo cubes- but the method doesn't mention what to do with it? Also what type of oxo cube? Beef/veg/chicken?
Thanks! Can't wait to this this!!!!
What's best to serve with?

I used beef cubes. Even when I made it with chicken. Can't tell the difference. Doesn't really matter.
I serve it with rice or mash or over a jacket. Kind of up to the individual.

I have a slightly different recipe, it doesnt mention oxo cubes, but cant remember if the recipe on here uses Chinese 5 spice powder. It is nice though. Might try it with oxo, perhaps it will thicken a bit...............................xxxjessiexxx

Anyone ever tried it with quorn chicken? X

I haven't but don't recommend leaving them in the sauce while it reduces. Quorn can go mushy. But I'm no expert. There is a different dt coke chix thread on here and I know someone mentioned using quorn chix.

Yes it does disintigrate. I used to cook it for my hubby, I cant eat it myself as it makes me really sick but others find it very useful if you are on a green day.

I had this tonight with mash and it was delicious!!! I didnt wanna open a tin of toms or pasatta just for a lil bit so i just mixed some tomato puree with water and put that in!!
Also u need to more then simmer the sauce to thicken it. I had it bubbling away and it reduced to half and was sooooo sticky and munchalicious i will defo be doing this again!! However next time i will seal the chuck first and then take it out until the sauce thickens and add it back in.
