Get your takeaway fix from Gary Rhodes

The UK chef and TV presenter has designed a dish for a Thai takeaway in Dublin


Gary Rhodes – remember him, the spikey-haired UK TV chef who once had his name over the door of a restaurant on Capel Street – is the latest guest recipe collaborator with takeaway business Camile Thai Kitchen. Rhodes, who now sports a more sedate hairstyle, has designed a healthier than usual version of priw wan, better known as sweet and sour chicken, sweetened with honey and served with wild and brown rice on the side (€12.95).

If you’re planning on dialling in dinner tonight, you can tick off a few of your five-a-days with this dish which includes peppers, onion, beansprouts, pak choi and pineapple. It amounts to 506 calories (841 with rice) and will be on the menu at the Dublin-based takeaway that has branches in Dún Laoghaire, Phibsborough, Rathmines, South Circular, Sutton, Swords and Rathfarnham, until the end of May.

"This is a no-nonsense dish and fantastic all-rounder. Priw wan is packed with flavour, high in protein yet low in calories, low in salt, and with absolutely no additives," says Rhodes.
