Quick Carb Idea

Ok so I am alway struggling with carb sources. When I bulk I eat more potatoes(all variants of) than Ireland as a whole… that can get old. I always want to eat brown rice but for some reason I am never able to cook it right and season it so it’s edible. Well… my wife found the solution. Instant brown rice + mixed veggies + sweet and sour sauce.

So take some instant rice and microwave it according to the directions. Take a package of frozen veggies and microwave those too. Drain and combine rice and veggies. Now add the sweet and sour sauce to the mixture. If done right it actually tastes great. A great protein source to go with said mixture is chicken. This sounds eerily like chinese food… and it is… except it’s not the crap you get when you go to chinese place. Most ( not all ) use cheap ingredients full of preservatives and all sorts of chemicals I can’t even pronounce the names of. I know there is a place up by me that is fairly authentic, but you won’t find cheap food there… alternatively there is also a cheap Oriental food place … and it makes me ill.

The only thing to watch out for is the sweet and sour sauce, make sure you’re not buying crap, and watch how much you glob on. Remember it’s just adding flavor the rice and veggies are the main ingredient not the sauce. If you use soy sauce watch the sodium, although arguably if you drink enough water you could eat salt as a meal. Anywho that’s all.
