Those Chinese pot sticker dumplings are so good! I think if I just eat the meaty filling it would be ok. The lovely dough puts my BG up too high.0

@tlblanks2015 You could eat the stuffings and just leave the roll. There are all kinds of inside out egg roll recipes out there! Basically, ground pork with cabbage or cole slaw shreds with garlic, ground ginger (fresh if possible), Tamari soy sauce, and rice vinegar. SOOOOO worth it!0 -

I've been craving Chinese food too! Made some for dinner tonight. I get frozen pot stickers (dumplings) because I don't know how to make those, but make my own Szechuan wings and beef with broccoli. The sauces are a bit carby (4 tsp brown sugar in the glaze for the wings and 2 tsp table sugar in the sauce for the beef and broccoli, but the recipes make enough for the whole family, and it's worth it). I have to limit the dumplings (I could make a meal out of just those if it weren't for the carbs - three of those suckers have more carbs than the whole rest of my meal!). But it was good to get that craving out of my system! Love love love Chinese food
@tlflag1620 There is a recipe for low carb pork dumplings out there - basically close to the inside out egg roll (egg roll in a bowl) recipe I just posted, then some dumplings made with psyllium husks or something...

oooooo I'd give a lot right now for a hot cacao and rice milk. OMG been craving for a couple of hours- which is extremely unusual- I expect I'm not getting enough fat, and possibly water earlier in the day. Or I just plain miss my favourite hot drink and I'm in Darwin for a few days - the northern most big city in Australia - and I can't get those things late at night here. grrr. The rice milk is not really a kindness- 24gms carbs - but... oh yummmm0

Yummy! Thanks @KnitOrMiss. I suppose I could just eat the "guts" of the frozen potstickers, but this looks much better! I could definitely make Chinese more often if I tried making these; heck, the hubby and kids might even like those better - it's just the "good part". I've said it before and I'll say it again - grains aren't food, grains are what you put food on (on in this case "in")!

@tlflag1620 This is one of my favorite asian type recipes...if you haven't made it yet.
http://www.food.com/recipe/crack-slaw-low-carb-434863
It's a variation on that, with rice vinegar as the type. Though it looks more like this one: http://www.cutthewheat.com/2012/12/asian-crack-slaw.html
We've done it with kielbasa, bacon, burger meat, sausage, whatever... SO GOOD.
I do NOT use sesame oil - I can't stand it. And I don't use splenda - just stevia. I do use fresh ginger, and not always on the green onions... SO YUM...
And I like the skinnytaste beef pepper steak recipe, too... That sauce is good on any stir fry! http://www.skinnytaste.com/pepper-steak/ Serve with some butter or another fatty side...2 -
Those all look really good! May have to have another Chinese food night soon, lol. I love the flavor of sesame oil, but since it's so delicate I don't cook with it (I generally use palm oil for stir frying) I only season the finished product with it.
Mmmmm... gonna have to try these 0 -
COOKIE DOUGH...but I'm too new to this to even attempt a keto version...might be dangerous0

For when you're ready, @MandiCole1 - save this recipe. http://www.healthfulpursuit.com/2016/03/keto-easter-egg-cookie-dough-fat-bombs/0

@KnitOrMiss I just bookmarked it! I can't wait to try it! Maybe in a couple weeks once I'm in ketosis...sigh...lol.0

@FitToLead can you have unsweetened almond milk instead? I switched a few years ago even though I like rice milk too.

crispbread, or something like that, eating cream cheese on cucumber is getting a little boring.0
