Around 190 calories (70 for each egg and 50 for 1 TB whipping cream). Trace calories for cinnamon and cool whip.

The good thing is that it is high protein and very filling. I often make it with 3-4 eggs for dinner. It is huge!

Bit more than five ingredients, but still very little and done in about 5min.

For one person:

150 gr spinach
125 gr udon (or egg) noodles
1 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp sambal ulek or 1 tsp very finely chopped chili pepper

Roast the sesame seeds in a frying pan (without oil), until golden brown.

Boil some water in a kettle. Break the udon noodles a bit and put in a bowl. Pour over boiled water and leave to stand for however long it says on the packet.

Heat some oil in a wok. Put in the teaspoon of sambal ulek or chili pepper and fry for a couple of seconds.
Then add in the spinach and stir fry until it has shrunk (no longer, otherwise it will go soggy). Turn off the heat.

Drain the noodles and add to the spinach. Add a tablespoon of soy sauce and a tablespoon of honey and give it a good stir.
Put in a bowl or on a plate and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top. Enjoy .

For more protein you can also have some grilled chicken with it.
