Guyanese Chow Mein

This recipe is by food ambassador Roselyn and has been a hit at many of our events. Roselyn says: ‘I grew up in Guyana seeing my family and friends making it and grew to love the different flavours – different from the stir fries you get in the UK. It’s healthy, quick and very filling’.
