oyster sauce

🥗Healthier: mushroom sauce

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

Mushroom sauce offers a similar umami flavor with fewer calories.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + seasoning

Vegetable broth is lower in fat and can be made at home.

rice noodles

🥗Healthier: whole grain noodles

💰Cheaper: spaghetti

Whole grain noodles add fiber, while spaghetti is often less expensive.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is heart-healthy and can replace sesame oil in cooking.

To make your rice noodle sheets more pliable, pop them in the microwave for around 1 minute until they’ve softened up.

Cut into 2cm (around 1 inch) strips, then carefully peel to separate the noodles into individual strands.

Heat a wok over high heat.

Add half the oil, then go in with the noodles and cook, turning occasionally, for 4 minutes or until they’re starting to become lightly charred.

Add the soy sauces and cook, tossing, for 1 minute.

Transfer noodles to a platter and set aside.

Heat the remaining oil in the wok.

Add the pork and prawns, then stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the prawns change colour.

Add the garlic and ginger and give everything a good toss.

Drizzle the Shaoxing cooking wine over the pork and prawns.

Add the chicken stock, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper and sugar to the wok. Stir to combine.

Add the bok choy, followed by the cornflour mixture. Cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

Drizzle in the eggs and keep stirring until you can see some setting going on.

Remove wok from heat and pour the prawn mixture over the noodles.
