English Chilli Chicken (1 Serving (300g)) and Veg Hakka Noodles (Ching's Secret) (1 Serving)

Reduce the noodle portion by half and replace the remainder with extra non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms, cabbage, bok choy, or zucchini.

Ask for English chilli chicken to be prepared with no added sugar, honey, sweet chilli sauce, or sugary ketchup; use chilli, garlic, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce, and pepper for flavour instead.

Request minimal cornflour batter and sauce thickener on the chicken; choose grilled, air-fried, or lightly stir-fried chicken rather than deep-fried chicken.

If available, swap regular hakka noodles for 100% buckwheat noodles, or have a smaller serving of noodles with a larger serving of vegetables and chicken.

Eat the chicken and vegetables first, then have the noodles slowly; avoid pairing the meal with sweet drinks, juice, desserts, or alcohol.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating and monitor your glucose response so you can adjust portions next time.
