New Recipe You Might Like to Try
Hi guys!
Was chatting to a friend the other night and he mentioned a thickener that has 0 carbs.... Powdered Ginger!
I was very keen to try as asian food is the most food I eat on Atkins, and picked up powdered ginger straight away.... I only used fresh ginger previously. Anyway, when you add powdered ginger it makes the liquid go tacky, as well as adding a lovely tang and new flavour to my collection of staples.
Anyway here it is: - Brown meat (prawns, pork, chicken, beef, or lamb)
Add Soy Sauce (I use Kikomans because it isn't very overpowering) till the bottom of the wok is covered.
Add a big tsp of fresh ginger
Add your vege's (I use a few snowpeas for extra carbs, bok choy, zuchinni, carrot, broc, cauli, capsicum and mushrooms - naturally add the snow peas and boy choy last).
Poor in some water so it doesn't stick to the bottom (usually around 1/2 cup)
Shake in ginger!!!! Taste along the way so you don't go overboard.
Toss frequently.
You will note that it goes tacky and leaves all the food with a coating.
I have tried this twice now and it is just great! I love the ginger to break the rich food flavour that I am currently having.
Enjoy!
