1- Prepare the Miso Peanut Sauce:

Heat a large frying pan over high heat using your Campingaz portable gas stove.
Add vegetable oil, then press in chicken mince flat. Allow it to brown on one side before breaking it up.
Pour in the blended chilli sauce and stir. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce is thick and sticky.
