My first attempts at cooking Healthy Chinese Food


My Veggie Fried Rice


The past two weekends, I decided to try something completely different..Cooking Chinese Food! I was never one that liked Chinese food when I was fat (I wasn't the veggie eater that I am now!), so this type of food never interested me before either cooking or eating it!
Now, I like a lot of the veggies and things in Chinese food, so I worked on developing recipes using these foods, but eliminating all the added salts and fats!

So far..I like everything I made! But the jury is still out on ginger in food that isn't one of my baked goods! (LOVE my Gingersnap Muffins!) Guess I need to ease into it!! But I do have a good NSA Soy Sauce recipe and that REALLY helps get the right 'taste'.

I am using my NSA Soy Sauce recipe to make all the recipes that I post on here or are in my cookbook. Since I never eat (ate) commercially produced soy sauce, I have no idea how it compares on taste and strength..so you may need to use less (or more) to suit your tastes. I am fine tuning the amounts to what I like..and that is the amount I am listing in the recipes! Feel free to adjust as necessary!!


Pork Egg Roll Filling

Since most egg rolls are wrapped and deep fried, I opted for making just the filling. I will wrap this in green leaf lettuce leaves and serve with Brown Jasmine Rice and maybe some of my Sweet and Sour Sauce (with pineapple).

More pictures of my Chinese food and other recipes are on my Berger Bites Facebook page.
