    Thought this would be a really boring 'healthy' meal but actually thoroughly enjoyed it, will definitely be making it again and I'm so pleased it's so quick and easy to do after work.

    I have tried this, and it is excellent for this weather. Try adding any green vegetables like french beans, pak choi, bean sprouts or soy bean sprouts, (I found this in the Chinese supermarket)

    Very easy to make, I added a little more stock as we prefer more sauce with these sort of meals, also added a little garlic. I can easily see this work with added fresh prawns. All in all a very good dish which will not disappoint.
