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!
