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

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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
