Notes
Make it Slimming Friendly
Use powdered peanut butter – this PB powder (1 syn per tablespoon) is great for making slimming friendly recipes like my Satay Chicken Salad
Replace the honey with Sukrin Gold or another zero calorie sweetener
Swap the Chilli Oil for Sriracha (1/2 syn per tablespoon)
Leave out the peanuts or count them (6 syns per 25g)
