My version of Chinese takeaway has a good balance of vegetables, protein and complex carbs. The entire meal has just over 500Cals and it is extremely satisfying. See below for the ingredients.

1) Garlic Egg Fried Rice (serves 4)
– 2 cups Cooked Rice, I used a mixture of brown and white rice (418cals)
– 2 Garlic Cloves, minced (9cals)
– 2 Green Onions, roughly chopped (10cals)
– 2 Eggs, lightly beaten (156cals)
– 1.5 tbsp. Sesame Oil (180cals)
– A pinch of Salt
Per Serving – 193Cals

2) Sweet & Sour Chicken (serves 4)
Main Ingredients:
– 12oz (340g) Skinless Chicken Breast Fillets, sliced in cubes (374cals)
– 1 medium Red Bell Pepper, cut into chunks (37cals)
– 1 medium Green Bell Pepper, cut into chunks (37cals)
– ½ Red Onion, roughly chopped (23cals)
– ½ cup Pineapple, cut into chunks (41cals)
– 2 Garlic Cloves, minced (9cals)
– 1.5 tbsp. Sesame Oil (180cals)
– A handful of Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped (6cals)
– ¼ tsp. Red Chilli Flakes (2cals)
Total Cals – 709Cals

Sweet and Sour Sauce:
– ¼ cup Ketchup (68cals) *choose the low sodium option
– ¼ cup Rice Vinegar (8cals)
– 1.5 tbsps. Raw Honey (96cals)
– ¼ cup water
– 1 tbsp. Cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsps. Cold Water (30cals)

Marinade:
– 1 tsp. Light Soy Sauce (3Cals)
– 1 Egg White, lightly beaten (17cals)

Per Serving – 233Cals

3) Buddha’s Delight (serves 4)
Ingredients:
– A head of Broccoli, cut into florets (98cals)
– 1 Carrot, thinly sliced (25cals)
– ½ cup (40g) Shitake Mushrooms, thinly sliced (10cals)
– 1 cup (100g) Snow Peas (42cals)
– 3 Garlic Cloves, minced (11cals)
– 1 tbsp. Light Soy Sauce (6cals)
– 1 tbsp. Sesame Oil (120cals)
– A pinch of Salt
Per Serving – 78Cals

I like to cook them in bulk, and bring a portion out with me to work, and freeze the extra to have them for later. So when I’m back from work feeling tired, instead of ordering a takeaway, I have my own healthier version in the fridge. Try them out! xx

I cooked this for dinner and it was amazing! Very tasty and filling!
My dad especially is a very picky eater (he loves meat and the fatter the better), but he loved it! I don't even think he noticed that there was much less meat than he is used to. It really helped that the portion size is quite generous (because of all the veggies😁), so we could all eat our fill and still have leftover. Awesome recipe, will definitely make again.

Yum! Good Chinese takeaway is hard to find where I live (though good Korean food is easy) and it usually has too much salt for me. This looks great!

I made sweet & sour chicken last night. It was so yummy. My husband suggested me to change chicken breast to thigh next time though (he loves higher calorie food…). I love your recipes because the ingredients are all available at any supermarket here in Australia, they are easy to make and tasty! Thanks for the ideas ❤︎

Wow, seriously thank you for this video! I’ve been told I don’t eat enough but it’s because food seemed like a really unhealthy, bad thing to me. Then I saw how you make such healthy meals and I kind of like eating again 😄

I appreciate that you are very knowledgeable, the advice is practical and that you get to the point very quickly. Other people talk so much that I can't take it or don't have the time to listen for 20 minutes. I have subscribed because I feel that your advice will be very helpful.
