    Beef in Oyster sauce with veg

    Slice beef thinly, and use frylite to fry off with ginger, garlic and chili
    Add onions or other veg you want to add
    Mix together some oyster sauce, soy sauce and a little water and then add to the beef - this is to personal taste
    Serve with noodles or rice

    Chicken Szechuan
    Dice chicken and coat with egg, coat with cornflour and then dry off
    Add chili, garlic and ginger to a wok and heat up
    Add sliced carrots and peppers and then add the chick back to the wok
    Mix 4tbsp vinegar, 4tbsp soy sauce and 8tsp of reduced sugar
    Bring to a boil and then simmer so the mix goes sticky on the chicken
    Serve with rice or choi sum/ bak choi

    Bak Choi/Choi Sum
    Throw in boiling water for a minute or two, add to a hot wok with ginger and chili - can add a tbsp of oyster sauce
    Can be used to bulk out any of the above or just with a chicken fried rice

    when im lazy or busy , i just cook some rice in fat free chicken broth (i always keep some in the fridge precooked) and add frozen veggies and scramble in an egg and top with soy sauce. its better than it sounds. for something interesting i throw in some chicken and pineapple chunks and top with sweet and sour sauce.

    There were a couple of posts last weekend for "41 calorie baked crab rangoon" as well as 236 calorie baked General Tso's chicken.

    Some awesome recipies here. I ended up cooking for friends who are also dieting and made king prawn singapore noodles, spring rolls, sesaeme seed chicken, tofu and cashew nut stirfry and chicken and brocolli in oyster sauce. An entire plate piled high was less than 600 calories. Can't have been too bad as everyting was devoured!

    I'm definitely going to try some more of these recipies.

    This is a play on Orange Chicken, but it's Orange Beef:


    Ingredients:
    1/2 pound Stew beef
    1 cup Frozen broccoli
    1/2 cup chopped Portabella mushrooms
    1/2 cup diced Onions
    A pinch of Red pepper flake (or more, all to your liking)
    A splash of Triple sec (or more orange juice, I did both)
    1/2 tablespoon of Butter
    Uncle Ben's White Rice (made as the box says to)

    Marinade for the Beef (let it sit overnight)
    2 tablespoons Soy sauce
    1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
    2 teaspoons Ground ginger
    2 teaspoons Garlic powder
    1/4 cup Orange juice

    How to make:

    1. Make marinade for beef and allow to sit over night in the fridge.
    2. In a hot pan, put the butter and the onions and let sweat.
    3. Add the beef and marinade and brown until about halfway cooked.
    4. Add the mushrooms and let cook for about 2-3 minutes.
    5. Add a splash of Triple Sec and/or Orange juice and let simmer some more.
    6. Add in the frozen broccoli and red pepper flake.
    7. While you are doing all of this, your rice should be cooking, that way it is done when the stir fry is done.
    8. Put rice down first in a bowl and serve stir fry over rice.

    I've made this a few times. It would be easy to add your favorite veggies to it, too. Next time, I'm going to put it over shredded cabbage instead of rice.

    Some of these look really good. I'm craving Chinese and I'm doing some up this weekend.

    Fried Rice is something I make pretty regularly.

    ~3 c. Rice (white or brown), cooked
    1/2 medium red pepper minced
    3 green onions sliced
    1/2 c mushrooms minced
    1 egg, Beaten
    2 tbsp oyster sauce (golden dragon is the best)
    1 tsp soy sauce
    Optional - meat of your choice (a great way to use up leftover chicken breast, steak or pork chop), cubed

    Fry pepper and mushroom in soy sauce until slightly tender. Add egg and cook. Add meat and stir fry until heated. Add rice and oyster sauce. Stir until everything is mixed and heated. Top with green onions.

    Wonton Soup

    1 box (32 oz) chicken broth (I use the 99% fat-free, reduced sodium)
    2 carrots (thinly sliced)
    3 green onions (thinly sliced)
    2 baby bokchoy (thinly sliced)
    16 Costco frozen chicken/cilantro wontons (Trader Joes has them too)
    1 block of ramen noodles
    1 tbsp rice vinegar
    ½ tbsp sesame oil (I use the spicy kind)
    1 tbsp soy sauce

    Bring chicken broth and carrots to a boil for about 5 minutes. Add frozen wontons, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce and boil for another 2 minutes. Lower heat to medium-high and add green onions, bok choy, and ramen noodles. Continue heating and stirring for about 2 more minutes until bok choy and noodles are softened.

    Makes about 4 servings.

    Not really a recipe... but you can buy Panda Express' Kung Pao sauce. It only has 25 calories per 2 Tbsp sauce!!! You could do shrimp or chicken at home. Add whatever veggies you want, and some rice.
