I am still trying to find new recipes to make. I had some reactions to carbs this week that means that I need to go low carb from now on until I am sure I can still handle processed carbs. What that means is that some nights, I will have to make separate dinners for myself than I make for the family (ie. if they are having sandwiches, I will make something else.) That is what I did on Wednesday night. I wasn't feeling all that well and we figured out it was a reaction to an overload of carbs, so I made the family what I had on the menu--sandwiches, and I made a new low carb recipe for myself.
I had seen the recipe for a sausage egg roll in a bowl on Facebook and decided that it sounded really yummy. It is also low carb which is a win in my book.
I followed most of the recipe, using chopped up cabbage and shredded carrots in place of the cole-slaw mix. I also used ground ginger instead of the minced ginger as that is what I had in my cabinet. I had this for dinner that night and LOVED it! My kids didn't want to try it and my husband wasn't a fan either. I guess it is something that I will make for myself.
I wasn't sure how it would reheat, but I have eaten it over the last 2 days just heated up in the microwave and it reheats just fine and is still yummy. I also decided to not add the sesame oil to my lunch servings the last 2 days as I am not a huge fan of sesame oil and I think it was just as good. I have added fresh green onions to each serving before I ate it!
I think this will definitely be an added dish for days/nights when I want something different or need a low-carb dish when the food I am cooking for Bill and the kids is heavy on the carbs.
If you have any tried and true low carb recipes, please share!

I can imagine it was delicious. So many times as I try to eat an egg roll, it falls apart or the filling falls out. I eat that and wish I had more filling. In the past I have often opted to eat just the sandwich insides, leaving off the bread if I am making it myself. If I am not making the sandwich, I just open the sandwich and use a fork on the insides. Now that I have found out I am allergic to wheat, I need to do that now.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very good!
ReplyDeleteThe fresh ginger will make it even better and it freezes great too. How about broccoli cheese soup? I freeze that also.
