This delicious low syn Chinese fakeaway recipe will give a gentle spicy kick with just 1/2 a syn per serving.
If you are anything like me.. you will LOVE Chinese food 😀 I certainly do. We tried this amazing recipe tonight and it was fantastic. A new favorite in our house that is for sure. The first time was a little spicy so i have adjusted the recipe slightly. (A little spicy may be underestimating a tad haha)
