Chicken Chow Mein

This was a hot favourite at our taster day and I think it is every bit as nice as the real thing and what's even better is that it's all fresh ingredients and probably about 100% healthier than a takeaway version.

Serves 4

1/2 syn on Extra Easy

4 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp hot chilli sauce

2 tsp chinese rice vinegar or white wine vinegar

4 crushed garlic cloves

2cm piece ginger grated
