With thousands of Chinese restaurants in Britain, Chinese food is one of the nation's favourite takeaways. In this new series, Ching-He Huang reveals how delicious Chinese food can be prepared at home with easy-to-prepare, mouth-watering recipes using fresh, healthy and readily available ingredients.

Throughout the series, Ching-He, the rising star of Chinese cooking in the UK, gives the nation's favourite Chinese dishes a contemporary, fresh, healthy twist with her distinctive take. She reveals a host of straightforward practical tips for newcomers to Chinese cooking at home.

In tonight's opener, she reveals the secrets of the perfect chicken chow mein, which she prepares for the nutrition-conscious Beijing-bound British Women's Olympic Rowing squad. She teaches world champion and Olympic medal-winning rower Katherine Grainger how to cook her own healthy version of sweet and sour pork and serves it with a delicious choi sum and mixed vegetable salad, with pineapple dressing and a special egg-fried rice with her own twist.

Ching-He also shows viewers how to cook her healthy version of takeaway favourite beef in oyster sauce with spinach and mushrooms, offers a host of tips for using and preparing a wok and reveals the essential store-cupboard ingredients needed to make the simplest, quickest Chinese meals at home.

    sure, its called chinese food made easy, its too easy to make its not even proper chinese food but some mutated form of simply stir fry. it was so painful to see her manipulate chinese food to fit into so called chinese phylosphy, what a load rubbish.
