I need to stop going on MiniMins late at night - it makes me so hungry! I'm craving fried eggs now I've been looking at all of those Nasi Goreng recipes :drool:
Just realised I've only got 5 more days left of my current SW membership that I'm not planning to renew! The next 5 days will be spent searching through the syns online database and making a record of the syns values I regularly need. Plus noting down any recipes I've bookmarked and yet to try. After that I'll be relying on minimins a hell of a lot more!
Just to warn you our consultant has been on about a new pack that will be coming out in the new year so some of the syns and such might change! x

vintagepockets said:I tried out my Mayflower sauce mix tonight and it was a good substitute to the real deal of a takeaway chinese chicken curry. I used 28g of the sauce mix to 110ml water which was too little sauce, so I added more water so it still looked thick but tasted watery (does that make sense haha). Basically next time I'll make more sauce ! I also had my smoked mackerel pate for breakfast on toast and it was absolutely delicious, and 110g of it has only 50g philadelphia in so I had enough of my HEXa for the milk in my tea throughout the day.

My parents had some takeaway containers in the cupboard so I thought I'd put them in there for some authenticity! They also kept the dishes warm whilst I was cooking my rice!
I love nasi goreng, really yummy.
Re: wagamama and syn values. I think the problem is the syns calculator when working out syns, only looks at the main free food in it, and it can't calculate a green day and a red day food together. So for instance if it was a veggies noodles dish with no meat, it would give a lower syn value than a noodle dish with meat in it, because the noodles would get a free food allowance, but the chicken wouldn't. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks BritMum - these values are on syns online for Extra Easy so they have been worked out by Slimming World. It's suprising how high they are! Be better off getting a McDonalds haha.

Okay just calculated the syns for chilli chicken ramen and if you calculate based on the 100g values and then put in the portion weight it comes to 14.5 syns on EE which is better than 23.5 but still mad! I think the new nutritional info on the wagamama website is throwing things off... Mind you had no idea there was as much as 16.2g of fat in the chilli chicken ramen!
