Chicken Chow Mein

There's something irresistible about a Chinese takeaway and if you choose wisely it can be a relatively healthy option. The food is usually cooked quickly, and at a high heat, meaning it retains its nutrients - and its flavour too. If you've never tried cooking Chinese cuisine, then you may be surprised to see how easy, fun and cheap it can be. Best of all, it's 'fast food' in the purest sense - meaning you can whip up a banquet in less time than it takes to place and collect a take-away order!
