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?

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
