Actually Griz now that you say that about the cubes I think I will buy some.I do want to make the recipe exactly as it reads and that is the cook I am.I need a recipe and I have to follow it with my finger under each word.I'm hopeless.It's only a Chicken Sweet and Sour stir-fry but I have never made one.

I used to buy the Knorr brand of stock cubes but I haven't seen them in the shops for years. They were the most flavoursome stock cubes, and the smallest. You can still buy their stock powders in bulk from various suppliers to commercial kitchens, but it comes in kilo tubs and would be a solid block before you get half way through that amount. Has anyone seen the cubes or powders in their supermarkets?

Knorr chicken cube: Salt, Potato Starch, Vegetable Fats (Palm, Shea Butter, Sal Butter), Yeast Extract, Sugar, Chicken Fat (2%), Chicken (1%), Spices (Turmeric, Pepper, Celery Seeds), Flavourings, Onion Powder, Maltodextrin, Lemon Juice Powder, Parsley, Caramel Syrup, Antioxidant (Extracts of Rosemary)
Maggi chicken stock powder: Stock Powder Mix (Salt, Sugar, Mineral Salt, 508, Corn Starch, Chicken Fat, Flavour, Yeast Extract), Soy Sauce Powder (Soy, Wheat, Anticaking Agent, 551), Onion Powder, Chicken Meat Powder, Colours (Caramel III, Turmeric)

I have started using the Simon Gault ones in a sachet in the supermarket which is a paste, in your recipe i would just start with about a teaspoon or so of the paste. The flavour is good and not nearly a salty as the powers and cubes. There are 4 flavours, once opened you have to keep them in the fridge, I just stand them up in the door. I have even used them in Risotto, I just make up the stock with boiling water and then keep on the simmer, where the cubes and powders are horrible.
The Lamb one is particularly good with a nice hint of rosemary.
