Ahead of Chinese new year, I’ve been cooking more Chinese take away recipes – this time using my Actifry Air Cooker.

I’m happy to say, this is one of the nicest meals i’ve ever made in the Actifry.

It’s better than my local Chinese, plus it’s so much healthier – all round winner. 

This Chinese chilli beef is super sticky and addictive, once you try it once it’s going to be highly requested by the whole family! I always use the Healthy Boy sweet chilli sauce – and highly recommend it – but you can use any sweet chilli sauce you usually enjoy! 

This crispy chilli beef is made using ingredients you’ll likely already have in the cupboard and if you do need to buy anything to make this recipe you’ll likely be using those ingredients over and over for many things!
