Healthy Chinese Noodles
Why take away when you can fake away?

This week on BeeZee Live we’re talking all things takeaways! And with takeaways on our mind we’ve whipped up this easy recipe for a tasty and healthy Chinese stir-fry at home! It’s a balanced meal and includes at least 1 portion of vegetables. By using a no sugar added sauce you’re saving over 3 cubes of sugar per portion but not giving up any taste! This recipe is easily adaptable, and you can easily swap rice for noodles or substitute a lean meat like chicken for tofu.
