Vegetable Stir-Fry

Really tasty, I added more chilli than the recipe says, both for flavour and because chilli can help to kick-start your metabolism and help weightloss! And this recipe couldn't be simpler!

- 1/2 a head of broccoli, sliced

- 1 tbsp of soy sauce

- 2 tbsp of honey

- A splash of vegetable stock

1. Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan.
2. Stir-fry the chilli, garlic, spring onions and broccoli with seasoning and a splash of water for 3-4 minutes.
3. Mix in the soy sauce, honey, vegetable stock and noodles.
