2. Prepare the egg noodles. Crack an egg into a small bowl. Whisk and pour into a hot pan greased with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Cook on medium-high for 1 to 2 minutes or until set. Slide onto a plate and repeat for the remaining eggs and oil.

6. Grease a large saucepan or a shallow casserole dish with the remaining coconut oil. Once hot, add the sided white parts of the spring onions. Cook on medium-high for a minute and add the green peppers and broccoli. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until crisp tender. Add the sugar snap peas, shredded cabbage, bok choy and sliced chile pepper. Cook for a 2 to 3 minutes.
