Sounds like a strange one but this really does work but patience is key here as you need to let the liquid bubble away to reduce it down into a sticky consistency – it does reduce eventually but this can take anywhere from 10 to 20 mins

You can use any diet coke i used decaff but use what you like diet pepsi etc. add any vegetables you like i added ones that work well in a chinese meal as this is basically the flavour of this meal due to the 5 spice.

On the recipe card it says 2-3 teaspoon of 5 spice i actually added 3 for 4 portions as i really like the flavour but if your unsure then add 1 teaspoon and keep tasting the bubbling down liquid add more 5 spice if you like
