I have been using Quinoa as a protein substitute in quite a lot of my recipes and sometimes, it is also quite interesting to combine it with other protein, like chicken. While there are recipes of Quinoa salad and plain Quinoa, I thought, heck, it can be cooked the Asian style too. So, why only cook it the western style?
So, here’s an Asian style Quinoa recipe that is healthy, low in fat and darn delicious too.
If you’ve read some of my other How To Cook Quinoa posts, I am sure you probably think that I have this sorta obsession with the super grain Quinoa. Well, I did come up with several ways to cook it simply because it’s a health food that’s pack full of nutrients and vitamins. Best of all it is high in protein too. Very seldom we get to find high in protein grains that is so versatile that you can actually cook it any ole way you like!
I used to make a lot of salsa, then bottle them up and keep in the freezer. I’d use them for my salads, sandwiches or even to eat with rice. It has been awhile since I made salsa. Since, I do not want to freeze them this time, I thought of changing the recipe a bit and made a sorta chicken and quinoa salsa stew. Originally, I wanted it to be vegetarian, to leave out the chicken but then, I changed my mind and added the chicken for the two meat-eaters at home.
Whoever said that if you are on a strict diet, you can never have dessert? Especially chocolate brownies. Well, I absolutely LOVE love love brownies. So, now that I am trying to lose a few kgs (ok, ok, I have about 10kg to shed, not only a few!), having to cut out dessert and sweet stuffs will be especially torturous.
Imagine my delight when I found a low fat brownie recipe. OMG. I can be on a diet and still eat brownies. It is a life saver, I tell you. Now, this recipe may be low fat, it is . . . → Read More: Very Low Fat Brownies
Okay, so the past few posts are calorie-loaded, fat-loaded, sinfully wonderful desserts so I think it is only right I put up a comparatively healthier dessert recipe that made its appearance only in recent years. I don’t even know what it’s called but most of the stalls selling this dessert will often label it as Soya Milk Jelly. Well, I would say it is more like a soya milk pudding than anything.
I made it with a can of evaporated milk instead of soya milk since I had that available. It is pretty easy to make actually and does . . . → Read More: Healthy Soya Milk Pudding, well sort of healthy…
I know, boiled chicken just sound so bland. And boring. And plain. But do read on and you will see that it is not bland, boring or plain. Just look at it…
Far from being boring, it is so flavourful that the remaining sauces from the boiled chicken is pure neat chicken stock. Talk about a two in one dish! And yes, this dish is pretty healthy as it involved loads of vegetables and no deep frying to be seen!
After using some of the cabbage for the pita meal and then for a Simple Cabbage Soup, I still have way loads of cabbage to cook. So, next I modified a Japanese cabbage pancake recipe and end up with a cabbage omelette. Yeah, I know it sounds darn horrible especially for those with something against cabbage, but really, it’s not all that bad.
Okay, if you really hate cabbage that much, you don’t have to suffer through this recipe. Or the next one, for that matter. I promise, after tomorrow, I won’t be posting anymore cabbage recipe. Not . . . → Read More: Cabbage recipe: An easy cabbage omelette
