Your unborn baby places huge demands on your iron reserves. Large amounts of iron are essential in your pregnancy diet for the developing blood supply of the foetus and for the extra blood that you need at this time. Iron is also important for placenta development and growth of the baby. Also you need to build up your baby’s own store of iron for him to draw on in the first few months of life.

Just cooked this for my other half and I for Chinese new year. It was absolutely delicious! Especially with home made special fried rice on.the side and sweet chilli noodles. Definitely recommend this to my friends/family.

I have just prepared this for my family and we all loved it [we have a 5 yr old boy] ! The only thing I would say is that AK forgets to tell you to add the yellow pepper in the cooking instructions & does not list the Tobasco Sauce in the list of ingredients .. other than that we will definately be having it again :)
