How to make it lighter

  1. Ask for less oil in the wok; restaurant stir-fries often use several tablespoons, and each one adds about 120 kcal.
  2. Order extra bean sprouts and vegetables and fewer noodles, so the plate stays generous for fewer calories.
  3. Use the crushed peanuts as a garnish rather than a topping layer; a small handful adds flavour, more adds calories fast.
