dinner for tonight :) (this plate is for my bf) I thought the way I served him looked nicer then my sloppy mess.

My portion Is without rice and half the size of meat he has. Finished it all within an hour.

How do you combat the dryness without oil/butter? I havent found an alternative yet?

The combination of the ingredients - they aren't dry. But I also am careful not to overcook them? But you can add 1 tsp to the batter if you want?

I prefer this one: https://fluffychixcook.com/low-carb-keto-induction-cornbread/

OK, whatever part of the South that guy is from - it certainly isn't Texas. All the cornbread I've ever eaten here is sweet!

Seriously drooling!!! Recipe please? :D

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb beef
  • 1 - 2 bunches of green onions
  • 1.5 tbsp shaoxing wine
  • 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp white pepper
  • 1 tbsp chicken powder
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1.5 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup Water
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce or oyster sauce
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup shaoxing wine
  • slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch to 2 tbsp water)

1. Thinly slice your beef against the grain. It doesn't have to be flank steak. You can use any type of meat and cut.

2. Soak the beef in water for 10-15 minutes. This cleans/pulls the blood out of the beef and also tenderizes it.

3. Mince 2 cloves garlic.

4. Marinade your beef with shaoxing wine, soy sauce, white pepper, chicken powder, cornstarch and sesame oil. Mix.

5. Flash fry or pan fry your beef with very little oil. Your thin strips will cook quickly so keep an eye out. Set aside.

6. Add oil to a hot wok/pan.

7. Add minced garlic.

8. Add water. This will serve as the base of the sauce.

9. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, shaoxing wine, and white pepper. Mix upon adding each seasoning.

10. Add slurry to thicken the sauce. The amount you add is dependent on how thick you'd like the sauce. The ratio to make a slurry is 1 tbsp cornstarch to 2 tbsp water.

11. Let the sauce reduce to your liking.

12. Add the cooked beef or meat of choice. Mix/toss everything.

13. Add the green onion. Mix/toss everything. Don't overcook them if you want them crunchy!

:) :D Hope you like it!

Also, you may have to tweak the wine, sugar and seasonings depending on your liking

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
