Here's mine...

At a mere 516 calories all in, there is absolutely no reason that you shouldn't be making your own fresh flavoursome favourite Chinese delicacy at home! It tastes the same, or dare I say BETTER, than any takeaway dish I've had. It's simple to make, and great for a fakeaway night at home. It won't stretch the pocket far at all either. This is also great to make in bulk for meal prep and will certainly spice up boring repetitive meals!
