Schwartz Easy stirfry Chinese 5 spice, ginger and chilli.

Can anyone find the syn value for this?

Values per 100g
cals - 139
carbs - 28g
protien - 4g
fat- 4.6


serving size is 16.5g

1syn per 20 calories as no free food. So 100g would be 7 syns or a level tbsp 1 syn.

so 1 syn a serving? nom nom! it just so yummy when mixed with soya sauce and used instead of a jarred sauce or a fat laden take away!! thanks hun!

Does the 20 cal rule apply to other foods with non free foods in?
e.g crisps, choc, cakes and biscuits?

Indeed - one syn per 16.5g serving.

You're right - any food that has no free food in it will be 1 syn for every 20 calories.

Just found this on the SW website - same stuff?

Easy Stir Fry Paste, Chinese 5 Spice, Ginger & Garlic, ambient, 1 level tbsp 1½ 1½ 1½

I use the Chinese 5 spice in powder form - think it is free and only mixed herbs - but tastes amazing!!! And mix it with soy sauce.

Yeah it is the same stuff thank you See I dont really like the powdered one as I find it can be a little bit bitter and I always tend to put too much in. But I also use it for a chinese veg soup and find the paste dissolves better

Ahh okay. Ooo Chinese soup yum yum. I add garlic salt powder to it as well

Yeah see I always use smoked garlic cloves. and yeah the soup is souper easy haha see what I did there?!?!

I always find there is too much stiryfry veg in a pack for me and my OH and hated wasting the 1/3 of the pack we didnt use so I add the left over veg to plain veg stock with a tsp of soy sauce and the 5 spice stuff, easy quick veg soup and its really good cos you can add left over cooked beef, pork and chicken. Also if you want noddles in it just stick em in for a couple of mins before you stick in the veg and you got veg noodle soup plus you can change the type of stock to give it a different flavous. It's so easy lol

Ooo thats sounds really lovely. May have to give it a try c
