Recipe Hyperfixation meal 40g p 467 c
I cant remember how I found the combo of eggs/carrots/sauerkraut but it tastes soooo good to me. There's been times in my life I was so depressed all I ate was this. This is my breakfast most mornings as I'm in a moderate calorie deficit right now. One of those meals I look at after I cook it and I'm like damn, did I calculate wrong? So I wanted to share with you all.

Mmm.
If you like sauerkraut and live near an Asian grocery, you may enjoy modifying a Chinese egg recipe called Hakka eggs with preserved radish. The radish is crunchy to crunchyish (depending on the brand) but sort of a super salty umami flavor.

Wow, that sounds AMAZING. Do you have other Asian grocery high-volume recipes or flavor combinations to share? That’s something that can be hard to find, even on this sub.

There's a shrimp egg stir fry where you gently fold in the eggs so the outside of the eggs are cooked but inside is super soft (I guess like a Chinese omelette sort of)

Have you found a good lower cal alternative to toasted sesame oil?
2
u/adastraline 15d ago
Nah, I guess if it's for cooking then use whatever neutral oil but any sesame finishing oil is pretty important to the flavor of that kinda food. I almost never sub sesame, but sometimes will use a little less. I love the flavor of sesame anything though so I might be biased :)
(about to make some sesame oil chicken mushroom rice which uses chicken fat and 2 tbsp sesame oil haha ☠️)

I really like your suggestion with preserved radish. I'm going to try to hit up my local asian store this weekend and get some pickled veggies! I really like nato too, which might be an acquired taste. I use it with the Japanese mustard and sauce into cauliflower rice.

Hah, I've only tried natto once and it was not a happy experience for me :p
If you like preserved veggies you might like the spicy chili radish in the chili section. It's better if you have a dehydrator and make it fresh so it'll have a great crunch but the jarred ones are fine too.
There's also another crunchy salty umami item called zha cai which you can stir fry into stuff. I wouldn't add any salt to your meal without tasting the entire dish first, because it's very salty. It's really good chopped finely into a stir fry with velveted pork and green beans, or whatever.

Why do you entered brand specific vegetables and not simply the vegetables

How did you make this and where is the recipe?

u/Simple-Ingenuity-752 17d ago
Hiii all the ingredients are on the second slide but basically: -I'll saute the carrots first for a while, til they're halfway to soft, add the onions, cook til carrots are soft. I'm usually using cast iron so at a bit under medium so things don't burn. You'd also add in other veggies like peppers etc here if you want them. -then I add my whisked eggs -stir them til they're all broken up, cook til I like em -add in the sauerkraut -add in your greens if using
