I never feel good the day after a takeaway chinese but the last time we had it I felt ill for it within an hour. I like making my own although just a basic list I might explore. I'd love to make some sweet and sour sauce nom!
My cheat days have just turned into days I relax but I eat good and how much I drink has reduced so much. I like it this way ... if I'm out and about I'm also going to enjoy it without feeling guilty. None of this over indulging any more x

My favourite Sweet & Sour recipe...
800g chicken thighs (I normally use chicken breasts, and less than 800g... usually 1 breast per person)
1 garlic clove, crushed
4 spring onions, thinly sliced, plus extra to garnish
1 green pepper and 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into chunks
200 fresh pineapple cut into bitesize pieces
pinch of salt
Sauce
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
6 tbsp light soy sauce
4 tbsp tomato puree
1 tbsp rice vingear
6 tbsp unsweetened orange juice
100ml chicken stock
1-2tsp sweetner
1 level tbsp cornflour
Method
Mix sauce ingredients together thoroughly & set aside.
Spray wok with fry light and place on high heat. Add the chicken when it gets hot and stir-fry for 6-7 mintues until cooked through.
Add the garlic, spring onions and peppers and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir continuously for 1 minute until it thickens and everything is well covered with the sauce.
Remove from the heat and add the pineapple. Season with salt and garnich with spring onions. Serve with noodles or rice.
