Looking for something spicy

Ok, so I'm a little new, and need some help changing my diet. The HARDEST part is that all the foods I loved were very spicy and very high in calories. I need some LOW calorie spicy foods! Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You can add hot sauce to anything for less than 20 calories a tablespoon...jalepenos!0

I like spicy too. I have been using Hot Italian turkey sausages, Frank's Red Hot Sauce, and Cayenne pepper. I have yet to venture to chopping fresh jalapenos in my eggs etc. Hot salsa is still available. Not sure what you use to eat to know how to replace. I have had no trouble keeping things spicy.0

Vietnamese PHO!!!!!
You dont need to have the rice noodles in this dish but its a bowl of food-porn of love!
Fresh made stock, fresh vegetables, lean meats, all the spicy thai bird eye peppers you can handle, fresh thai-basil, wedge of lime.... let your imagination run wild in making this soup!
They do have a low-carb mung-bean noodle on the market that goes VERY WELL as a replacement for high carb foods...
Low fat, fresh from scratch bowl of love!!!!!
I make it all the time!0 -
Recipe: Boneless buffalo strips
Chef Devin Alexander
Ingredients
Boneless buffalo strips
1 1/2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 chicken tenderloins (about 1 pound), trimmed of tendons
Olive oil spray
1 1/2 tablespoons hot sauce (a thick one like Frank)
2 tablespoons light butter (stick, not tub)
Preparation
Boneless buffalo strips Mix the flour, garlic powder, and salt in a medium shallow bowl until well combined.
Dip one chicken strip at time into the flour mixture and turn it to coat completely. Then shake off any excess flour. Transfer the strip to a plate. Repeat with the remaining strips, placing them side by side on the plate until they are all coated.
Place a large skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, lightly mist it with spray and add the chicken strips side by side, not touching, in a single layer (work in batches, if necessary). Cook until lightly browned on the outside and no longer pink inside, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, place a small nonstick skillet over low heat and add the butter and hot sauce. Heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is just melted, being careful not to scorch it. Immediately remove from the heat, add the chicken strips, and toss to coat completely. Add more hot sauce, if desired. Let stand in the pan for 5 minutes, and then toss again (the sauce will stick better after resting) and serve immediately.

I love Tapatio and it has no calories whatsoever LOL. You can add salsa to stuff, I LOVE jalapenos too. You are just removing the fat, you don't have to remove any of the spice!0

I got this from someone else....stuffed jalepeno peppers
Slice peppers in half and remove seeds
Fill with neufenchal cheese (it's a 1/3 less fat than cream cheese)
Fry some pieces of proscuitto and cut up like bacon bits, sprinkle on the peppers
Bake peppers for 20 minutes at 350
They are a hit at any party I go to...
I realize these aren't low-cal...but, they are better than fried, easy to make and hot0 -
I am with Kassie. I like to add Cayenne pepper to stuff, jalepenos, poblanos as well. Heat just makes things better in mu opinion. Other spices that add heat are cumin, cloves, peppercorns, mustard and of course garlic. All can be added with minimum caloric influence.
Veggies can be stir fried without oil in a nonstick pan if you are patient with a bit of water to release them from the pan when they stick.
With some practice you will get this.0 -
stir fry with some crushed peppers and chilli powder works for me!0

I've had a spicy tooth lately...unusual for me. Tonight I baked Tilapia and then poured Frank's Buffalo Ranch sauce over it (not a lot, just like a basting sauce). That was awesome!0

Siracha chili sauce! Fabulous for stir fry or anything blah that needs a hot pick me up0
-
Tabasco Chipolte sauce Yummmmmmm!0
-
Here's a few of mine:
- Siriracha Sauce. (goes right on top of my fried rice)
- Smoked/Chipotle Tobasco (great for stir frying shrimp or steak to make your own Bare burrito bowl. Just add lime, avacodos, tomatoes on top of lettuce.
- Tobasco Sauce
- Cholula (My favorite thing to put on eggs)
- There's a whole aisle of sauces at Trader Joe's.
- Those hot pepper packets at Pizza hut mixed with sesame oil for soups.
Also, you can try different vinegars and low sodium soy sauces with any of those hot sauces. Good luck.
You can also play around with spicy pickled veggies at the Asian grocery stores.
- Kimchi (I don't really have a good taste for these. I like my green veggies cooked).
- Spicy Pickled Radishes
- Spicy Pickled Turnips (surprisingly good)
