I have been having cravings for Chinese takeaway all week. The thought of delicious chinese food has been driving me insane.
Normally I would make a call, and 10 mins later pick up my order from the chinese takeaway, but since being on Weight Watchers I have had to think before I act.
So tonight instead of having fatty food that would have blown my points for the day, I decided to make my own. It worked out to be 10pp per serve - very filling and tasty without the added fats.
Give this one a go if you too are tempted by the taste and ease of getting take out on weekends, you won't be disappointed.
Enjoy!
