Homemade low-cal chinese food?

[bananas-on-toast]

Does anybody have any good recipes for low calorie chinese food? I'm a pretty good cook and more than capable of making something far more delicious and healthy than the takeaway, once I know where to start. Craving a chinese sooo much!!

How about Diet Coke Chicken? I'm not sure about the calorie content but it's an old Slimming World recipe. You brown diced chicken, then add a can of diet coke, 2 tablespoons of chinese glaze and a clove of garlic crushed. Keep on a high heat and stir until it goes sticky, takes the edge off my chinese cravings everytime!

hey where do you get chinese glaze from? Did you add the glaze in bananas on toast? x

I just used coke and chinese 5 spice, and it looked nice but I fancied it a bit stickier, so I added a couple of spoonfuls of sweet chilli sauce (between 3 people) and it was delicious. I've not seen any chinese glaze, but I'm due a trip to chinatown soon!

I get mine from a little herb shop in Newport South Wales so I don't think you can get it where you are
It's one of my favourite meals ever!
