The Lazy Cook

I've been watching "Chinese Cooking Made Easy" on the BBC. But, being me, I wanted it even easier! So here's my short-cut take on the lady's recipe for Chicken Chow Mein, which you can find at www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/chickenchowmein_89258.shtml.
First forget having to cook the noodles - just use a packet of those ready-to-wok type. Then you can get bags of frozen stir-fry vegetables at the supermarket, so chuck a good handful of those in in place of the pepper, bean sprouts and spring onion. So it becomes a simple four-stage process -
1. Prepare the chicken as per the recipe
2. Stir-fry the chicken
3. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for a couple of minutes
4. Add the noodles and stir-fry for a further minute or two.
And that really does make it easy!
