These 25 minute stir fry noodles are simple to make and packed with flavour. This unofficial recipe is perfect for any one following Slimming World, Weight Watchers or a calorie controlled diet.
When you are staring at a fridge full of left over vegetables and fancy a healthy, quick and simple meal this one is for you. It only uses two pans, no fancy ingredients and it’s much healthier than a takeaway version. If you are thinking about creating a Chinese fakeaway night this would be a fantastic addition.
This is one of those “everything but the kitchen sink” type dishes where you can throw anything in and it still tastes great. Today I have decided to use broccoli, red pepper, carrot and mushrooms. But it would work just as well with peas, cauliflower, beansprouts, spinach, baby corn, onion etc.. go crazy and try some new combinations.
There are three elements to this dish.. the noodles, the sauce and the vegetables. All of which can be customised to suit you taste. For example if you love a dish with a bit of a kick just increase the chilli powder.
RECIPE TIPS
- For extra heat: Increase the amount of chilli powder for more of a kick.
- Reduce the carbs: Try swapping the noodles for butternut squash chunks or corguette spaghetti.
- Add protein: Feel free to add protein.. you can easily add beef, pork, chicken, quorn or tofu to this dish.
