For those of you with high blood pressure, and or diabetes, eating your favorite foods dining out can be difficult. Number one, most digs sell their foods with a lot of salt for the flavors, especially Asian influenced cuisines, and in Hawaii the plate lunch culture is very high in sodium and on the glycemic levels. In this post I'll trim off the sodium and sugars, but at least the flavors will be somewhat there.
8 strips of short ribs Kalbi cuts about 2 1/2 pounds
1 cup of filtered water
1/2 cup of soy sauce
1/4 of Agave nectar
3 cloves garlic minced
1 inch ginger chopped
1/4 of sesame seeds
1/4 cup of sesame oil
1/4 cup of minced green onions
In a bowl, add all of the ingredients from the water to green onions, mix it well. Then add in the Kalbi cuts and soak overnight.
*The Agave nectar is lower on the glycemic levels than sugar, and the water takes out some of the sodium from the soy sauce. This will not taste as strong as a regular Kalbi recipe but it will trim off the stuff you don't need if you have diabetes or high blood pressure.
Heat up grill and grill to your preference.
FURIKAKE FRIED RICE
2 cups of cooked white/brown rice mixture
1/2 cup of minced tofu
1/4 of minced green onions
2 egg whites cooked and chopped
2 tbsp. of Bragg liquid amino
1 tbsp. Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tbsp. furikake flakes
In a hot wok with some vegetable oil, begin to fry the cooked rice for a few minutes getting it that fried texture, add in the tofu, and stir for a minute, then add in the rest of the ingredients and cook through.
Bragg Liquid Amino in place of soy sauce is pretty good, just using 2 tbsp. should be safe.
Check with your dietician or doctor before trying this one.
Good Eating!
