tonight I whipped up some lettuce wraps and some egg drop soup - and it was SO VERY YUMMY!
I was happy it tasted good and even more thrilled that it was super easy. of course I had to share the food love and post the recipe links. I am currently moving so I my cookbooks and recipes are nicely packed away. To build me grocery list I have been using a site called Photograzing.seriouseats.com -it's perfect for extremely visual people like me. Brad can simple read a recipe and tell if it "sounds" good but I do not have that skill. On the other had - I can drool over beautifully crafted photos of food all day. This new way of sifting through possible recipes via photos has been appropriately coined on the web " Food Porn".
Both of these insanely easy recipes were found on Photograzing.
Here are a few adaptations or tips:
*I used sugar-free honey on the Lettuce Wrap sauce and it worked really well - plus it help me cut the sugar out which makes me happy.
* Make extra sauce because it goes great on salads.
* I actually had not carrot int he house but I did have some cabbage+red cabbage+carrot mix I had chopped up for coleslaw - so I threw that into the chicken lettuce wrap mix and sliced some mushrooms up. I worked great!
* I also did not have almonds *grrr* but I really wanted the nutty crunch so I threw in a small handful of chopped pecans I had - worked wonderfully. Tasted like Pei Wei lettuce wraps and we basically liked the bowl.
* I could NOT find walnut oil - have you ever seen this? - so i used olive oil. Also worked fine. Makes me wonder what it would be like with Walnut Oil.
