Calories

Calories are a measure of the amount of energy in food and drink. Your weight depends on the balance between how much energy you consume and how much energy you use up. If you eat or drink more than you use you can gain weight. If you don’t eat enough you can lose it.

Fat

Your body wouldn’t function without fat. Fat is an essential part of a healthy balanced diet. It provides fat soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids. But as fat is a rich source of energy (calories), it can easily contribute to weight gain.
Saturates0.5g

Saturates

On average as a nation it seems we’re consuming too much saturated fat. Eating too much can increase your cholesterol, which is a risk factor for heart disease. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Carbs5.5g

Carbs

Starchy foods like bread, breakfast cereals or potatoes are a good source of carbohydrate and should make up just over a third of the food you eat. When eaten, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is used to fuel cells in your body like brain and muscle cells. Some people think starchy carbohydrates are fattening, but gram for gram it contains less than half the calories of fat. Choose whole grain or high fibre varieties where you can as they often contain more nutrients.
Sugars4g

Sugars

On average in the UK we eat too much sugar. Foods and drinks high in sugars are not needed in the diet. So if you have them, make sure they're infrequent and in small amounts, or you risk tooth decay or obesity.
Fibre2g

Fibre

Fibre is classed as a carbohydrate and you should aim to eat 30g fibre each day. Eating plenty of fibre is good for your digestive health and is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
Protein2g

Protein

All cells and tissues contain protein, so it’s essential for growth, repair and good health. Protein from animal sources such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy products contain all the essential amino acids (the building blocks of protein) needed by the body. If you're vegetarian or vegan, you can get the protein you need through eating a variety of different plant sources such as pulses, nuts and cereals.

Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok for 1 minute or until just smoking. Add the ginger and chilli and stir fry for a few seconds. Add the pepper, baby corn and courgettes and stir fry for 3 minutes. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if necessary and continue to fry for a further 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are just cooked (they should still be crunchy)
Season and serve immediately.

Cooking Tips

Replace the fresh chilli with 1 teaspoon dried crushed chillies if you have them in your store cupboard.
If you want to add strips of chicken, stir-fry these for 3-4 minutes before adding the vegetables.
You can vary the vegetables to suit you but remember to consider the cooking times for each vegetable.
