Almost every “get healthy” and “weight loss” posting you go through will tell you to skip the drive through and make all of your meals yourself. This is literally very true. But occasionally the last thing you want to do is put together a whole supper for yourself and your family. Sometimes all you really want is to go to the drive through and get home as quickly as possible. There isn’t any reason that you shouldn’t be allowed to do this and not be tormented by guilt about slipping on your diet. You are able to do this because most of the popular joints are now promoting “healthy” menu options to keep their businesses up. Here is how to eat healthy and balanced when you reach the drive through.
Choose a drive through according to whether or not it has more healthy options available. For example, Arby’s doesn’t serve hamburgers. Instead, a person’s selections consist of roast beef and chicken sandwiches, wraps and big salads. While Wendy’s has made hamburgers for decades, additionally they have a lot of other healthy options like salads, baked potatoes and chili. Most fast food restaurants usually do not stoop to the poor lows seen at McDonalds.
Fundamental sense states that the best way to lose fat and get healthy is to ban fast food from your diet entirely. Most of the time this is a good concept but if you make good choices, there is not any reason you can’t visit your drive through now and then. Sometimes the best thing is to let other people create your dinner. There isn’t any reason to feel bad about visiting the drive through when you make healthy decisions!
We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to classic chinese beef with fat noodles recipe. You can cook classic chinese beef with fat noodles using 9 ingredients and 14 steps. Here is how you achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Classic Chinese Beef with Fat Noodles:
- Get Chinese fat noodles, 1 inch width (Typically 1 in width for traditional style. However, you can get the folded up sheets and cut it into any width you prefer, or buy per-cut ones if no preference. ) (Make sure the noodle is NOT TOO WET! It should be mil
- Prepare thin sliced beef (The kind used for hot pot with relatively higher fat to muscle ratio. The fatties, the better)
- Provide whole white onion, cut in wedges.
- Take (Optional) starchy (or tough) vegetable (i.e. peapods, broccoli stem, etc.)
- Provide soy sauce
- Prepare oyster sauce or 1 tbsp of Hondashi (Japanese dried fish stock)
- Prepare sugar
- Provide cooking rice wine (or any cooking alcohol you find really)
- You need Salt
Instructions to make Classic Chinese Beef with Fat Noodles:
- Heat up a large non-stick skillet (or frying pan) under HIGH heat until it is sizzling hot. (I like to use a skillet because the higher raised lip limit the extend of flying grease when pan-frying and stops things from falling out of the skillet.)
- Drop in the thin sliced beef in bundles (3-4 slices) directly into the skillet.
- Brown the meat on both sides for a good 7 second. - Tips: 1) Give each bundle enough space apart (at least 1/2 inch apart) to prevent juice from pooling. 2) Limit movement of the meat during browning to prevent sticking. 3) Ideally, it's brown on the outside and raw on the inside. You will cook them again the noodle later. If too cooked, it will dry up.
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Extract the meat with chopsticks or tongs when the meat is properly browned on both surfaces. Leave the rendered grease in the skillet for the next step.
- Add the onion, the peapods, and a pinch of salt into the skillet and cook under HIGH heat until soften. Tips: Typically around 30 seconds. Stir often. I usually pop the lid on and whirl the content around instead for quicker result. It effectively "braises" the veggies along with frying.
- Add the noodles into the skillet.
- There should still be a layer of grease remains on the skillet. If so, stir it around until the noodle start to loosen up. If not a lot of grease, let it sit on the skillet for a bit before stirring. (If your non-stick surface is good, you shouldn't have any sticking.) Let all sides of the noodle cook for a bit until the skillet is dried of grease or moisture.
- Add the beef back to the skillet
- Add the soy sauce, cook wine, sugar, oyster sauce (or Hondashi)
- Stir until the sauce is evenly distributed. In the case that you do have some sticking on your skillet, scrap the bottom with a spatula. (The cooking wine should be able to remove any sticking bits. Those are favor packets, courtesy of your sticky skillet.)
- Remove from heat once the sauce coats all the noodles and the noodles became soft.
- Taste and adjust the taste to your liking. Add soy sauce if taste too bland. Add sugar to balance if taste too "sharp" (too salty). Add more oyster sauce if the favor is doesn't have enough "weight" (favor doesn't stick to your palates or the favor fades quickly).
- Enjoy!
