Good Gut Fakeaways - Black Bean Chicken - Feed a family of 5 for £6 ✨ Did you know that home cooked food resembling your favourite takeaway, can actually be good for your gut? And cost as little as around £6 for a family of 5 ✨ Simple, wholefood ingredients, and a special mention for the authentic black bean paste. This is the base of this dish and is a fermented product. This means it’s good for your gut, and gives an authentic taste and health experience. It doesn’t need to break the bank either if you shop wisely ? This takes around 20 minutes to make and is suitable for the whole family, and is delish, of course. Enjoy! ? Comment ‘fakeaway’ and ill send you the link to my recipe page (I do this in person, and see all your lovely comments, so please excuse any delays) Emma x ?
