Starting with eating healthy means better choices of ingredients and smaller potion sizes. If the position is smaller, it needs to still feel complete. When choosing vegetables go with the low sugar, low carbs options. My favourite vegetable is a potato. I love it fried, I love it roasted and I love it with any meal, be it chips, mash, baked or just plain braised or boiled. I love it. My new eating plan is low sugars, low carbs and certainly no potatoes aside from the sweet variety - which makes no sense - its sweet – one would think that its not good for you – but apparently it is.
Enough about what I cannot have. Last night I made a meal from left over roast beef and vegetables that I had in the fridge. It was yummy, healthy and is worth a share.
Madras Beef with rice noodles and green veg
Start with:
100g of beef steak – no fat (cooked or raw)
1 portion of rice noodles - soak in hot water to ready for use.
Chop up 1 spring onion
Chop up a cup of baby spinach
Chop up a cup of broccoli
1 tsp of ginger chopped finely
1 tsp of madras curry powder
1 tsp of Sriracha
1 spoon of light soy sauce
1 tsp of olive oil
Heat up a pan, add oil and ginger. Once the ginger starts to brown, add the beef – if raw, let it cook for a minute before adding the broccoli. Let it all fry for about 2 minutes, add a spoon of water if the pan is too dry. Add the madras powder, sriracha and soy sauce. Cook for 30 seconds, add spinach, and wait for it to wilt. Add more water – if its too dry. Once the spinach wilts, add the rice noodles. Mix all the ingredients to ensure its all covered with the spice and sauce.
Turn off the heat, plate up, sprinkle with spring onions – this should serve 2 healthy portions.
Note: add extra Madras if you like spicy, add extra Sriracha for more heat.
I loved this meal; hope you do to.
