  2. keep the wok pan on fire and use again some of the oil mixture, give in the green part of the spring onion, after a minute add the yellow pepper and the shitake mushrooms, fry it for 2-3 minutes, add the meat and the spinach, let it fall a bit together, pour in the sauce, add the noodles and the egg pieces, mix everything and let it cook for a few minutes.

Suggestion

  • Nowadays you can find gluten-free soya sauce in nearly every supermarket, but lately also Asia stores sell it.
  • Yellow pepper has very little fructose. If you can eat everything take a red pepper in stead, it is sweeter and nicer for the colour of the dish
  • The green part of the spring onion is good for a fructose-free diet, the white one not. If you can eat everything use the whole spring onion or replace it with a normal onion.
