How to make it lighter
- Use a non-stick wok so a teaspoon of oil is enough for the whole dish.
- Swap part of the rice for extra vegetables such as cabbage, carrot or bean sprouts.
- Go easy on the kecap manis, which is mostly sugar; a splash of regular soy sauce adds flavour for fewer calories.

How we calculated these values
- Calories and macros are Sporty catalog estimates for one typical serving, calculated from USDA FoodData Central values for the listed ingredient amounts.
- The serving weight (430 g) is estimated from those ingredients; the per-100 g values and the portion calculator are worked out from it.
- Walking times use the Compendium of Physical Activities: 3.5 MET for comfortable and 4.8 MET for brisk walking, for a 70 kg adult (kcal per minute = MET × 3.5 × kg ÷ 200).
- Vitamins, minerals and allergens are estimated from the same ingredients with USDA FoodData Central values; % DV uses the US FDA daily values.
- Diet labels come from the ingredients. Real values change with the recipe, the amount of oil and the portion, so treat every number as an estimate.
