Sounds so easy to make.
Hi. Can I check if I can substitute the beef cube with more chicken powder? If yes, how much more chicken powder should I add on top of your recipe’s 1.5 tsp? Thanks!
Hi Wendy, yes you can add more chicken powder about 2 tsp + 1.5 tsp or to your taste. Besides the 2 tsp chicken powder, you may change to add some oyster sauce (also to your taste)
Thank you so much for your reply!
Can DIY, then can make whenever I feel like it!
Looks filling and very tasty!
