This is a fabulously versatile dish and easy to prepare. With a nod towards it being Christmas Day, I’ve have used dark turkey meat, which gives a slightly deeper flavour. Feel free to use chicken, tofu or vegetables of your choice, all of which would make a delicious alternative. I love the mix of fresh chilli with its hot spiciness and Szechuan pepper — which will make your mouth literally tingle. It’s optional, so if you find it too fiery, feel free to leave out or reduce the amount of either. Szechuan pepper can be found in all supermarkets.
