At under 450 calories these Singapore noodles are a real win and are sure to be a hit with the whole family. Although we’ve cooked the Singapore noodles with prawns, you could swap them for beef, chicken or even tofu for a hearty, veggie alternative. If you want to cut down the prep time even further, rather than peel and grate fresh ginger you could use some shop-bought ginger paste.
