Serves: 4

Prep time: 10 mins

Ingredients: 

250g noodles (all varieties would be fine for this dish, except fried noodles)
Canola or olive oil spray
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 onion, roughly chopped into thin wedges
1 carrot, diced into thin sticks
1 cup of bean sprouts

Method: 

  1. Cook noodles as per the directions on the packet and set to the side.
  2. Lightly spray the surface of a wok or large fry-pan with the oil spray, and cook a thin omelet with the eggs. Once cooked, cut into thin strips and set aside.
