Inspired by my dieting, I found that using glass noodles made of "Mung beans" are lower in calories and rich in protein. This is a lovely spicy dish that always fills my stomach without needing rice. This combination with the fresh chilli gave me loads of energy. I hope it will do the same for you....@^_^@
