Sticky Rice Get Creative350

350 calories of Yum 

Staying Healthy, Slim and Trim the easy cooking way. 
Having lived on rice pasta for more than 2 years, I became addicted to Annie Chen Sticky Rice and on a search to find different things to combine with it found this easy-peasy microwave way to make sweet and sour pork. Main dish, 350 calories and I have 2 baby carrots, or beets with it.

Purchase a bottle of Sweet and sour Sauce
pour desired amount in a small sauce pan, drop in a few chunks of pineapple, and a few pieces of previously browned ground, lean pork. Stir for one minute. 

note: I stir if I add pineapple, zap in microwave if only heating sauce.

Remove rice from microwave and dump the stuff you stirred on top and YUM
Add a small salad, raw veggies of your choice or cooked veggies. I had one with zapped broccoli.

Note: above is NOT sticky rice, I used wild rice from previous meal. Sticky rice is my fav.

I have so far used Tuna, ground burger, small pieces of cooked pork, even ham.
Any meat, any sauce, and there you have it
I even ate rice under a small amount of bobs Beef stew that I make in a crock pot. Small amounts the tummy can take.

That looks good. I could eat that for sure. I had bought a package of the microwavable jasmine rice the other day. The package says it's one serving but it was way too much for me to eat in one sitting. I thought it was more like 3 servings for me. Any way, with the extra I mixed in some tuna and a couple tablespoons of soy sauce. I reheated that the next day for lunch. It wasn't bad and it was seriously easy.

I have never attempted to make sticky rice, but it is a great favourite of mine. I buy it at the local Asian store wrapped in a lotus leaf and it is quite wonderful. Now you have me thinking - maybe I’ll pick some up today.

Welcome to my world! Minus the meat, this is the sort of meal I make a lot... and will be able to do in the van (though I will still be able to do full-production cooking if I want to!) YAM xx

What a great idea and there are so many different ways you can change it up so I wouldn't get bored with it!

This sounds soooo good! I like how you change things up so as not to get bored.
Now I'm craving Chinese food from the little restaurant down the street. Tom's not a fan, but he can do his own thing somewhere else. Ha!

I love the look of this, thanks for sharing it. Love any kind of rice but have some sticky rice and pineapple in the fridge. Thanks Sandra!

Chatty Crone said...

I think you mentioned it before and where to get it - but I could never find it!

I love any kind of rice but I'm not suppose to eat it on my diet (potential disbetes). You have really made me drool. A simple and tasty meal.

It is cold and wet here, and your recipe sounds perfect for tonight.

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Wow, I am so impressed. You are doing an awesome job when it comes to eating. So what do you make for Bob?

I'm so glad there are some tasty things you can eat! And that they're easy to fix. ❤️

I don't know how you cope with cooking different meals for each of you. Mr B is going through another phase of scoffing junk food (and thinking I don't know) and telling me when I get home from work at 8pm that he isn't hungry and doesn't want to eat (and hasn't prepared anything for me to eat). We had words the other day - you can eat what you like I said - your funeral, but I'm not going to start eating junk just because you do. It is a bit depressing though having to cook for one and eat on my own.
