BeanSprouts with crushed chilli and garlic and a dash of light soy sauce was great and a first for me and was as good as something from the chinese.
Bean Sprouts 50p from Morrisons and the others from the store cupboard.
Cheap and Tasty alternative to a chinese takeaway.

Tuesday dinner.....
Pete’s Chicken Biryani
Serves 4
Syn Free
Ingredients
600g chopped chicken
2 large onions, chopped into small pieces
1 tsp “easy lazy” garlic
1 tsp “easy lazy” ginger
1 tsp “easy lazy” chillies
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp coriander
1 tsp curry powder
½ ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. sweetener
Pinch of grated nutmeg
8oz basmati rice (rinsed)
1 Cinnamon stick
1 tin chopped tomato
1 Knorr chicken stock pot
1 400ml of hot water
½ cup frozen peas
2 bay leaves
*Fresh coriander
*1/2 cup raisins (if used then Syn)
Method
Wash the rice several times until the water runs clear then place the rice in a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook with a lid on for 10-12 mins then remove the cinnamon stick, pour the rice through a sieve and then return to the saucepan, replace the lid and allow to steam.
In a frying pan sprayed with Fry Light cook onions, bay leaves, ginger, chillies & ginger until golden. Add the cumin, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, sweetener & nutmeg, (raisins if required) cook for a further 5 mins.
Add chicken and brown it, cook for 10mins then add the tomatoes, stock, peas and cook until the chicken is cooked. Remove bay leaves.
(At this point you could place the curry in a slow cooker and leave on low for several hours and make the rice when you require the meal.)
Add the chicken to the rice and allow the flavours to infuse with the lid on for 5 mins, mix together and plate up, sprinkle with fresh coriander if required.
Tuesdays Supper........
