We all love a Chinese take away, but they come in huge portions, with lots of hidden calories, then there’s always the free bag of prawn crackers that jumps into our bellies too, ruining all of our hard work. Try Dianne’s version of Singapore noodles for just 478 calories, making this a perfect treat without the risk of it all going wrong!
The chilli gives this dish a real kick, whilst the ginger and lime will make your mouth zing!! And it takes only half an hour to make from start to finish, that’s quicker than waiting in the queue at the Chinese take away!

- Cook the noodles according to the pack instructions, then drain under cold water and set aside.
- Meanwhile, mix together the soy sauce, curry powder and sweetener in a bowl.

- Add the cabbage and sugar snap peas to the pan or wok with a splash of water. Cover loosely and cook for a further 3 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are almost tender.
