Save yourself time cooking...

OK this is 'cheating' but I did it once and it was fun.

DH and I were on our 'eating healthy' day (LOL, just a day) and we ordered Chinese, we had our food steamed with the sauce on the side.
First of all its amazing how much sauce goes into these dishes (oh the calories, the sodium, etc etc) We were perfectly content just having little dips of the sauce on our food. I couldnt beleive how much EXTRA sauce there was, and food was just as good, with a FRACTION of the fatty sauce.
(I think we had brown sauce, and garlic sauce or black bean sauce, cant remember)..

Anyway, moral of the story, we had all this extra sauce, and the next day, I whipped up some steak and mushrooms and had some garlic sauce, made from the Chinese restaurant themselves, LOL, and it was DELISHUS !!

try it, its good to get away with a freebie !

You'll have a healthier meal TWICE

MMM MMM MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

thats a GREAT idea Anna!! I always get my Chinese food steamed with the sauce on the side...but I throw away the sauce thats left when I am done!! LOL...from now on...Im going to keep it and use it the next night...in a different way!

Thanks!!

I do save myself cooking, John cooks!

Good, im glad you guys like the idea ! I was AMAZED at the quantity of sauce they give on the side (just seeing how much goes into our system when we DONT ask for it on the side!) IT was like asking for pizza with a big cup of cheese on the side. LOL. Hello reality check ! Do we really NEED all this sauce in one sitting ?? NO. So make 2 or 3 sittings out of it !...
oh and one more thing i do. I like to add white rice to my soups

Great idea thanks!

jennbaby, lucky you !
