Ingredients
- 100 g 3.5oz dried rice noodles
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- Olive oil spray
- 1 small onion halved, thinly sliced
- 150 g 5oz chicken breast, cubed (you can use prawns - 4 per person)
- 1 red capsicum thinly sliced
- 150 g 5oz snow peas (you can use any other veges instead)
- 2 garlic cloves crushed (I use the garlic in a jar)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts
- Lime wedges to serve
Instructions
- Soak the noodles in hot water for 20 minutes or until softened. Drain well. Meanwhile, whisk the egg and egg white using a fork.
- Lightly spray a large non-stick wok with oil and heat over medium. Add the egg mixture and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until just set. Transfer to a plate.
- Lightly spray the wok again and stir-fry the onion for 1 minute. Add the chicken and stir-fry until sealed then add the capsicum and snow peas and stir-fry for a further 4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Return the egg to the wok, then add the fish sauce, garlic, shallots, lime juice and brown sugar (I mix them all up together) and mix through. Add the cooked noodles. Toss gently to combine. Remove from the heat.
- Sprinkle with the peanuts and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
Adjusted from a recipe from Michelle Bridges' 12 week body transformation (this is the real version with all the things I left out)
You can add extra veges and a few more noodles to stretch it out and lower the calories.
