Stir-fries are a week night meal classic and also super quick to recreate for a healthy lunch recipe.
This salmon recipe helps you towards one of your two recommended portions of fish a week, while the bean sprouts and mangetout are a step towards adding more fresh beg into your diet.
Soba noodles are thin Japanese noodles made of buckwheat flour, and add a lovely oriental twist to a classic stir-fry, while the ginger and lime zest add a wonderful zingy taste to make this healthy dinner recipe extra special.
