Working at a growing business like Mr Lee’s involves busy days and hard work and we recognise that remaining healthy isn’t only about fuelling your body with good food, staying active and mindful of our mental health is also essential, especially in these times of lockdown restrictions.

The Mr Lee’s Food Team have recently been working on new products (exciting, right?) which have sparked-up interesting conversations around sugar.

Add some green into your dinner with this easy and healthy Stir-fried Green Beans with Lime and Pine Nuts recipe which is perfect as a side dish or you can make it a main meal by adding some chicken or tofu.

Nowadays we are all so busy it is sometimes difficult to prepare homemade meals for lunch. Whether you are working from home or heading into the office every day, you may struggle to find the time to prepare something from scratch and this may lead you to grab something quick, simple and convenient from the supermarket. Even if you have a packed schedule it is still important to keep this afternoon mealtime balanced and healthy.

This week we bring you the Lobster Laksa Curry Noodles recipe from The Noodle Cookbook. Learn how to make a deliciously fragrant laksa with lobster, homemade spice paste and loads of toppings and treat yourself to a luxury dinner.

Mr Lee’s have teamed up with sustainable energy company Pavegen and Emma Sinclair from EntepriseAlumni to donate 20,000 meals to struggling food banks across the UK that have seen a massive increase in demand since the start of the pandemic. 

Women in business are not celebrated enough and this week, to mark International Women’s Day, we sat down with some of the brilliant and talented women at Mr Lee’s to talk about their life, career, goals and values. From the operations and finance team to the marketing department, Mr Lee’s has a group of brilliant women that deserve recognition for their hard work and amazing achievements.

Damien was known for saying that he 'didn't have time for cancer', he was never afraid of trying new things or venturing into new adventures and he was always up for a challenge. His work ethic and dedication to his businesses was unrivalled and in the past twelve months, when most of us have stayed in and binged watched Netflix, Damien was busy writing The Noodle Cookbook!

Before 2020 came to a close, we at Mr Lee’s had to address a surplus of stock which was dedicated to the travel sector as the coronavirus pandemic had forced airlines to put a halt to their activity. All this got us thinking about the amount of food that goes to waste every year around the world. Paying more attention to our food consumption habits is extremely important and that’s why we at Mr Lee’s would like to offer some practical tips which can help us all change our habits around food.

This week at Mr Lee’s we have been examining our competitors and the difference between our products. Our range of foods are core to everything we do and reviewing the market reminds us of the reasons why we decided to develop a premium noodle.
