I love a Chinese Fakeaway recipe, especially one that is slimming friendly as
well.

I've said it before and I will say it again many times...I love a Fakeaway! I
love how therapeutic is is to plan a big feast like this and cook it all
up!
I have tried loads of different Fakeaways, from Indian to Chinese and
American.
This feast combines all of my favourites on one platter! Chicken Fried Rice,
Chicken Balls, Salt and Pepper Chips, Chow Mien, Sweet and Sour and Curry
Sauce and even some Prawn Crackers!
I had some chip foil trays leftover from a summer BBQ, so used this as my
platter base and built up from there.
I used wholemeal breadcrumbs for the Chicken Balls, and baked them in the
oven. They may not be the same as the fried balls, but they are delicious none
the less!
If you have any other Chinese favourites then you could add them to your own
platter.
I made this to serve 2, but it definitely served more like 4, or 2 with
leftovers!
The Prawn Crackers
When I went into my local Co-op, I spent ages looking in the sauce section
next to the naan breads and poppadoms, but couldn't find Prawn Crackers!
I spotted these in the crisp section, and they're only 97 calories for the
whole bag! There's about a quarter of a bag on the platter. These were sweet
chilli, for some extra flavour!
