This may be more Thai- but it was good and had less calories in mine than it says on allrecipes. I added 2 peeled potatoes and left out the chile paste. Even my 1 and 3 year old ate it- with Jasmine Rice. According to MFP my calories for the recipe plus rice was just 300. It is very filling.

I have chicken coconut soup. They are SUPER good! My finace was puzzled when he saw me making them as soup. He was freaking out. But until he tried, he had 2 to 3 bowl of chicken coconut soup. I will post it here when i find my recipe. I am unsure about the calories for the coconut soup. Someone warned me the coconut milk is high in calories. If that is so, just be careful how much u eat this.

I have a healthy "Faux Fried Rice" recipe. This is so good that it tricks people... no rice at all....

1/2 head of raw cauliflower grated (about 3 1/2 cups loosely packed cauliflower ... I use my food processor.... very easy)
3 green onions, chopped
4 cloaves garlic, minced
2-3 Tbls low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 to 1 tsp garlic salt
3 eggs, beaten (but I would use egg substitute in this today)
2 Tbls veggie/canol oil (probably could use less in a teflon pan)
cooked pork, chicken shrimp or beef (optional)

1. Heat the oil in the bottom of a large pan. Fry the mined garlic and white part of the onion for about a minute.

2. Add the grated cauliflower and fry for approximately 5 minutes stirring constantly.

3. Add soy sauce, garlic salt, green onion tops, and meat and stir until well mixed. Then push the mixture to the side of the pan.

4. Scramble eggs in the empty side of the pan.

5. When the eggs are done, stir them into the "rice" and enjoy.

That sounds yummy- thanks for sharing

This is the recipe I use for Vegetable "Fried" Rice

Olive Oil (enough to saute vegetables)
1 Green Pepper
1 Red Pepper
1 Onion
1 Zucchini
1 Carrots
Bean Sprouts
1 Head Broccoli
Rice (Cook serving for 4)
Soy Sauce (to taste - use low sodium to keep it healthy!)
1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic

Cut veggies to desired shape and size. Saute vegetable in olive oil until preferred tenderness . Add in garlic and soy sauce and let it absorb into the veggies. Cook the rice separately according to directions. Add rice into vegetable mixture stirring well. Add soy sauce to taste and enjoy!

About 205 calories per serving, this serves my family (4 of us) and leaves some for leftovers! It's my dad's favorite!

Add in meat or any other desired veggie to suit your tastes, its a delicious dish!
