Chilli and Lime Pan Fried Prawns with Noodles

|
|
|
Quick, easy to make and delicious, this stir-fry is full of flavour and
|
|
goodness. And if you cook it with Benecol® foods, you can enjoy its fresh
|
|
taste in an even healthier way, says Claire Sharp
|
|
|
|
Maintaining a good diet is not as daunting as you might think, especially if
|
|
you have a great set of recipes that are convenient to shop for and simple to
|
|
make.
|
|
|
|
A flavour-packed stir-fry, such as this one with chilli and lime prawns and
|
|
noodles, can be put together quickly at the end of a busy day. What's more,
|
|
it's a particularly health-conscious choice because it's made with Benecol
|
|
Buttery Taste Spread instead of oil. This is useful when trying to cut down on
|
|
the fat in your diet, as Benecol foods contain plant stanols that are
|
|
scientifically proven to lower cholesterol levels when eaten regularly as part
|
|
of a healthy lifestyle*.
|
|
|
|
Chinese and south-east Asian food has become part of people's everyday family-
|
|
cooking repertoire because it's quick and easy to prepare. It's really worth
|
|
seeking out top-quality fresh ingredients, too - not just for the crunch but
|
|
because they're full of vitamins.
|
|
|
|
Chef Dean Edwards, from ITV1's daytime TV show Lorraine, says it is not
|
|
necessary to have fresh noodles. 'Dried noodles are really good; especially
|
|
egg noodles, and they cook really fast. That's the essence of a stir-fry.'
|
|
|
|
'With anything oriental, the key is to get that balance of flavour between the
|
|
hot, the sweet, the salty and the sour just right,' says Dean. 'That's what
|
|
gives Asian cuisine its distinctive character.'
|
|
|
|
By replacing your usual oil or fat with Benecol Buttery Taste Spread in a
|
|
stir-fry recipe, you can retain all the great flavour while reducing the
|
|
saturated fat content to only 2.5g per serving.
|
|
|
|
'It's important to eat a balanced diet... I don't usually have butter at
|
|
home,' says Dean. 'Benecol Buttery Taste Spread is a brilliant substitute, for
|
|
both putting on bread and cooking. Anything that helps you lower cholesterol
|
|
is a good thing. Besides the spread, I also enjoy Benecol Yogurt Drinks.'
|
|
|
|
*Consuming 1.5 to 2.4g of plant stanols a day has been proven to lower
|
|
cholesterol as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Heart disease has
|
|
multiple risk factors; you may need to alter more than one to cut overall
|
|
risk. Do not consume more than 3g of plant stanols a day. Consuming more has
|
|
no additional benefit and is not recommended.
