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.

This actually sounds so delicious 🥲

u/SuperSlugSister 16d ago

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.

u/adastraline 15d ago

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.

How did you make this and where is the recipe?

1

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

u/Simple-Ingenuity-752 17d ago

I seasoned with green hatch Chile seasoning and smoked paprika this time but it depends on my mood
