Asian

This soup is a staple at Chinese restaurants. It is filling, delicate and delicious. Unfortunately, one of the ingredients in most restaurant egg drop soup recipes is MSG. The recipe below is an MSG-free version of the traditional classic, so it won't taste exactly the same, but we think it's just as delicious.

This recipe was submitted by Plan Z coach, Pearl. She loves kale and makes this recipe often.

This looks like a lot of ingredients, but you’ll see it’s sort of a dump and cook recipe. Not difficult at all. If you love making Asian food you probably have many of these ingredients in the house.

This dish can be served with something as simple as a grilled steak or a baked chicken breast. If you want an American-Asian combo this is the way to go. It’s also designed to be served with the seared sea scallops for a more Asian-directed entrée.

Serve with my seared sea scallops or with any fish or sea food. I think grilled shrimp would be great! Or even cooked, cold shrimp would pair nicely with this on a hot day. You can serve the sauce hot or cold.

This type of dinner comes together VERY quickly. The flavors of the asparagus make a very simple dinner taste fancy and pairs really nicely with a plain, grilled piece of meat.

Dinner in 20 minutes or less! Promise! This dish is so easy, you can make it with beef, chicken or even shrimp.

Chinese food is the hardest of the ethnic foods to convert for Plan Z. Dieter Jeff exclaimed that this could not possibly be diet food! Well, Jeff… It’s diet food. Plan Z diet food.

I serve this over shredded lettuce to make a larger salad.

I have made this sauce and used it several ways. I use it as a marinade and grilling sauce. I also use it in stir fry. It is designed to be SPICY.

This can easily be reheated at work for a Zola To GO! meal and some might even like it cold.

In the Zola to GO! version of this recipe you can eat the chicken cold or transport it separately and heat the chicken before putting it on the salad.

The leftovers for this meal will travel well so make extra and you can take some to work for lunch! This is not an overly spicy dish. If you want it HOT you can add some cayenne.

We had a big party the other day. I wanted to serve several items that are approved on Plan Z. This beef recipe can even be eaten on the ZReduction portion of the diet.
