Con Poulos
This tasty stir-fry is a fast dinner for one that’s great if you’re watching your carb intake. For a more substantial meal add noodles or steamed rice.
Test Kitchen tip
If you have a vegetable spiraliser, making vegetable noodles such as these zucchini ‘zoodles’ is a cinch. If not, use a julienne peeler or V-slicer. Alternatively, swap zoodles for bean thread vermicelli, hokkien noodles or steamed rice. Use broccolini in place of the gai lan.
