    Chinese takeaway - no oil?

    Hiya, I had a chinese last night for my OH's birthday. I had the mixed vermecelli (pork, beef, chicken, veg, prawns etc). It was cooked with no oil and the meat was dry fried and no fatty bits. Is this still to be synned as normal?

    Oat so simple

    Hiya, I've heard this can't be done as although it's still porridge because of what's been added it "takes away" some of the fibre and goodness. What my consultant advised is get the plain one as a HExB and use a tbsp of Golden Syrup at 2 syns instead.
