David’s low-carb faux stir-fry:

4 cloves of garlic
1 thumb-sized knob of ginger root, peeled and grated
250g chicken breast, cut into 1 inch cubes
14g sesame seeds
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil
100g brussel sprouts, sliced thinj
100g broccoli cut into florets
2 tbsp soy sauce
seasoning (salt, pepper, onion powder, coriander, five-spice, whatever else you like)

  1. Heat sesame and vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan on the stovetop over medium heat.
  2. Saute garlic and ginger with seasoning for about 1 minute (I kind of cheated here on the 10 ingredients: I use a lot of spices, like chili powder, coriander, onion powder, salt and black pepper, sometimes dried basil).
  3. Add broccoli and brussel sprouts, turn up the heat to medium-high, and stir-fry for about 5 minutes (don’t let them burn and stick to the bottom!).
  4. Add cubed chicken, spread out into one-layer, brown for three minutes on each side.
  5. Add soy sauce and a couple tablespoons of hot water, cover pan, and turn heat down to medium-low.
  6. Cook for about five minutes (til chicken is cooked through).
  7. Take off heat, put your sesame seeds on, and toss til they are evenly distributed.
  8. Enjoy! The finest faux-Chinese stir-fry you can get for under 15g of carbs per serving (with a ton of fiber from the seeds and broccoli as well!).

Ingredients -
One Pork Loin
Stone Ground Mustard
Brown Sugar

Cover the pork loin with a mixture of the Stone Ground mustard and the brown sugar. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F until the meat reaches 145 degrees F. Let it rest ten minutes before serving.

The thick slather of goo on the pork loin while it cooks leaves it very moist. When you slice it, there will never be too much brown sugar on each slice. I got oodles of compliments.

I make a mean tartare sauce to have with fish. Enough good quality mayonnaise (or home made) for as many servings as you want. Chop capers and parsley, add to mayo with a squeeze of lemon or lime. I like easy and your snapper recipe sounds good.

That reminds me of Crab Rangoon Puffs that I made.

Crab
Spinach Dip
Cream Cheese
Worchestershire Sauce
Puff Pastry cups
Bacon cooked and broken to stick up off the top.
