You might not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes penang rice noodles but it is feasible. The key is to not eat penang rice noodles or other high calorie potatoes, rice, starches every day but in moderation.

For example, I allow myself rich food one day per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1400 to 2000 calories a day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have simply been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also believe it is helpful if you have professional support when dieting and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Serves 2 as a main course or 4 as an accompaniment.

8 ounces (225g) dried rice noodles (see below)
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 green onions, cut diagonally into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped garlic
8 ounces Chinese greens such as bok
    choy (see below) cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces
6 ounces (175 g) fresh Chinese yellowor green chives,
    or fresh chives, cut into 1-inch (2.5-cm) pieces
1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine (see below) or dry sherry
2 tablespoons light soy (see below)
2 tablespoons vegetarian
oyster-flavored sauce (see below) or dark soy sauce (see below)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces (175 g) bean sprouts
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Soak the rice noodles in a bowl of warm water for 2 minutes. Then drain them in a colander or sieve. Heat a wok or large skillet over a high heat until it is hot. Add the oil and, when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the onion, green onions, garlic, Chinese greens, and Chinese chives. Stir-fry for 4 minutes. Then add the noodles, rice wine or sherry, light soy sauce, oyster sauce or dark soy sauce, salt and pepper and continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the bean sprouts and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Finally, drizzle in the sesame oil and give the mixture a good stir.

Serve at once.

Dried Rice Noodles are opaque white and come in a variety of shapes. One of the most common examples is rice-stick noodles, which are flat and about the length of a chopstick. They can also vary in thickness. Light soy sauce is light in color, but it is full of flavor and is the better one to use for cooking. It is saltier than darksoy sauce and is known in Chinese grocers as Superior Soy. Vegetarian oyster-flavored sauce can be bought in Chinese grocers and supermarkets. Despite its name, it does not have a fishy taste. It is full of rich flavor and is used in cooking and as a condiment, diluted with a little oil, for vegetables, poultry and meats.
