Chinese Salad

I don't eat as much Chinese food as I used to, mostly because of the rice. Before the symphony the other night, we stopped at a Noodle Cafe. I didn't think I'd have a lot of protein rich choices, but I was wrong. These guys serve just about anything they make over salad instead of noodles or rice if you want it. I had Hot Thai Beef Salad and it was wonderful. From now on, I'm going to dump my leftover Chinese food over greens. I thought it sounded kinda weird, but turned out to be great. Connie

This is a great choice and one I do often. I have even had tacos in which I used lettuce as the shell. Also, when making your own, I don't cook American rice very often. American being long grained, instant and such. When I use rice, I make the short grained varities which have far less simple carbs ( ie sugars). As I cook for my family, I do use rice in quite a few meals. I have a rice cooker, and it makes cooking rice much easier and quicker. Thanks for the comment, it was a great one.

Thanks, I will have to try that, as I love Chinese food. Marilyn, the Bearlady

Thai lettuce wraps are one of my favorites at Chili's. (OK, not Chinese, but when you live in Arkansas, it is close enough to count!)
