Quick, tasty and healthy, stir-fries are a go-to midweek meal in many a household. Here are some you can keep in your repertoire for those hectic evenings when you just need to get dinner on the table, fast. (Before you get the wok out, make sure you avoid these common stir-fry mistakes.)




1. The basic beef

2. The spicy beef

For something with a little more kick, try this chilli beef stir-fry with baby corn and tender stem broccoli. Don';t worry, it's not that spicy — and you can adjust the amount of chilli flakes to suit your preference.

3. The classic Chinese chicken

We love the crunch that comes from water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. This easy dinner is another family favourite.
