I dont know if your after a curry or just a chinese dish. we do a variety all quite similar -
stir fry veg (onions, mushrooms, peppers, carrots etc (or you can buy a pack of stir fry veg)
meat or prawns (either chicken (breasts), beef (by thin steaks and cut fat off), or prawns (frozen so defrost first).
blue dragon sauce (sachets, they vary in price but normally you can get a deal making them around 50p). They serve 2. The syns depend on the calorie content (have a look at the per portion calories and count 20 cals as 1 syn). Black bean sauce I think is 3 syns (maybe 3.5) and we have that with beef. Hoisin & Garlic with prawns, or we go for the schezwan (spelt wrong) with chicken. There are others as well but stay away from satay and sweet and sour as high in syns)!
Serve with either noodles or plain boiled rice (i dont use a fancy rice as you want to enjoy the flavour of the sauce)
fry meat or prawns - in fry light
Add stir fry veg and fry
add sauce and cook together and serve.
