Had a few issues with burning the garlic and ginger purée at the start (probably had a the wok too hot) but end result was delicious nonetheless! Will definitely be having this again.

Hey Edward! You nailed it guessing that the wok might've been a touch too hot; starting at a slightly lower temp should do the trick next time. Definitely give it another go soon!

Loving the idea of a little Chinese Fakeaway buffet; and even better that there are leftovers - no need to stress about lunch/dinner the next day, ideal 👌
