When Pearson came in, he said the kitchen smelled like Chinese food. I said that I was pretty sure this was Japanese. Turns out we were both right. The Japanese borrowed the Chinese Chow Mein and reinvented the dish with their own twist. Guess I am not the only one who does that!
My guys liked this dish, although I did sub some actual noodles for the boy who is an avowed cabbage hater. The main parts of the dinner were the same, though, so that wasn't too much trouble.
What I loved most was the addition of the peanuts. I love peanuts tossed into Kung Pao chicken, and this was similar, just no sweetness. The meal went together really quickly. The only change I found I needed to make was to add more coconut oil to my skillet after browning the chicken. There just wasn't enough left to stir fry the cabbage. Very good. Thanks, Maria. The recipe is on page 110 of volume 1 of Low Carbing Among Friends.

I finally got around to making a batch of Ground Beef Jerky, from your January newsletter. I just have one word to say:
ReplyDeleteFAN-BEEFIN-TASTIC!!
My hubby is a Jerky Snob, insisting jerky must be made from thinly sliced beef. Well, I made this "for me". And naturally he tried it, and is now thinking up flavorings for the NEXT few batches, ha ha ha!
Oh, and I used my little Jerky Gun extruder, by American Harvest. That made it SO easy. They came out nicely shaped and thin, and it went very fast.
Thanks for the recipe. I love jerky as a snack, but it's so expensive and full of chemicals. This is a great recipe to have!
there ya go! I really liked the ground kind because I hate slicing raw meat.
