Dinner Recipe

So I made Shrimp Fried Rice for dinner. When I originally copied the recipe to my desktop I only copied the ingredients... don't know how that happened. So anyway, I bought all the stuff then couldn't find (read: was too lazy to really look) for the original recipe so I winged it. I wasn't a very big fan. But my hubby finished his bowl, Olivia ate a few bites, and Abigail inhaled what Olivia left over.

So here's the ingredients :

1 cup cooked brown rice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon grated ginger
3 ounces precooked shrimp
2 cups bok choy

And here's what I did. Cooked the rice. Then combined sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and ginger and shrimp in a wok. Then I added the bok choy. Then I added the rice. Then I decided it needed more shrimp so I added them. That was a mistake. The bok choy got really mushy while the rest of the shrimp cooked. I also cooked my rice in chicken broth because I thought that would give it a little more flavor. Only problem it was like totally clashing flavors. So yeah don't try that.

This recipe is about 300 cals for a generous serving. There's about 4 g of fiber. Low fat. Next time I'll add an onion, more garlic, maybe a little more soy sauce, use fresh ginger, and not do those things I already mentioned.

Tomorrow's recipe... Lettuce Wraps. I hope they turn out a little better or my husband is going to be praying for this health kick to end. I feel satisfied, and ate way less calories than I normally would.
