Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Here's a definite change of pace for us. Out of a kidney friendly cookbook. Shrimp and Bak Choy in parchment paper. Onions, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, jalapeno, cider vinegar, honey, and lime juice. I added a bit of Sriacha to kick it up a notch. with broccoli florets and chw mein noodles. (and my genuine war trophy chopsticks) Very pleasantly surprised. It was darn good. I added a bit of sriracha to ik it uop a notch. And a bit of Gekkeikan Sake just the way Bond likes it.

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 OK-but what did you have for dinner? OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 The bok choy was surprisingly filling. I have lost 35 pounds since last year. But this had nothing to do with that. This was from a cookbook on meals for kidney disease patients. I have to learn a whole new story of cooking for Carol now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Looks wonderful and sounds like it was tasty to boot. Glad it worked out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Looks great. I really like bok choy, though not chopped quite so much. A healthy and delicious dinner- especially if seconds are possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I'll take the shrimp and broccoli, but you can keep the bok choy. Blecchhh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Broccoli is only edible if it's covered in cheese sauce. It's hard to mess up a shrimp but I don't know about the rest of that stuff. I guess we do what it takes to keep them healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to eat with chopsticks, I'd lose 35 pounds also. I guess that I could always sharpen them to catch and kill some hotdogs and eat them.

I really like broccoli, though I didn't as a kid. Key #1 is to not overcook it; should stay bright green. Put on a little olive oil. Good for you, as ma would say....

Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Well. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Had some raw bok choy in my salad today. It was fine. Like cabbage or lettuce. Not like Kale. Cooked, it needs some additions. But a good cook can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to eat too fast anyway according to Carol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizPete Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Nothing wrong with chopsticks. Little kids in China use them. And I like baby bok choy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
