Egg Foo Young Wraps

My younger bro loves egg omelets so thought I'd treat him to one of his favorite versions, Egg Foo Young, and make me a more candida-friendly version. Lucky us, because our cousin delivers every so often his wonderful farm-raised eggs! We know what those chickens ate (no meat-waste and such in the feed!) and that they are truly free-range. Many "free-range" chickens have been impressed as chicks not to venture out of the coop, so when they are more mature, they won't venture out ... and thus in places where the doors of their containment centers are opened, but of course the impressed chickens don't venture out, those eggs can 'honestly' be labeled as "free range". Humph!

Anyway, I kind of put together a foo young sauce for me but this is one time when I wish I could add soy sauce. It just isn't the same without it.

Omelets (makes 2)

4 eggs

garlic powder

Italian seasonings

sea salt

Egg Foo Young Sauce

3-4 tablespoons coconut oil

1 medium onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, sliced or minced

1 large chunk ginger, minced

3 stems bok choy, sliced on a angle

1 wedge cabbage, thinly sliced

1 small yellow squash, sliced

1 baby carrot, sliced very thinly (for color)

4 pea pods, sliced very thinly (for color)

garlic powder (optional)*

thyme powder

rosemary powder

sea salt

Oops, the omelets were a bit overstuffed ... not so attractive but tasty enough.
(Asian food really needs soy sauce.)

This is the non-candida version I made for my family. They said it was very tasty, and my bro was
more than delighted to pack the two extra ones for his lunch boxes for the next two days. That's quite the compliment.

My candida-friendly version VS the non-candida friendly

My Egg Foo Young Wrap was so overstuffed it fell to bits. Tasted OK though.

[This recpe was also made in 2012 summer and written up shortly after returning to Korea. Since, I have virtually quit eggs and meat (fish), I feel a great lightness after my meals ... and it's an exhilariting experience to compare the BEFORE and the NOW!]

Sunflower Black-eyed-pea Hummus

The black-eyed-peas were cooked overnight in a slow cooker; otherwise, this recipe too would be raw. I'm experimenting with protein and fiber-rich foods like beans, but still want to maintain a very high percentage of raw in my diet. This is pretty good. One thing about black-eyed-peas is that they can be eaten straight out of the crock pot without any seasonings, including salt. There's just something satisfying about their flavor that seems complete. Adding a just a touch of cumin and turmeric does bring out their flavor a lot though. Sunflower Seed and Black-eyed-pea Hummus 1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked and drained 1 cup cooked black-eyed-peas with 1/2+ cup bean broth 2-3 large garlic cloves 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (optional) cumin turmeric sea salt The hummus spread on the raw,dehydrated lentil cracker (this one shaped like a personal pizza). My personal pizza - raw lentil cracker for the crust, hummus, cilantro pesto, fresh parsley and chopped tomatoes.

Bittermelon Okinawan Style

According to my health-conscious Philippina friend, bittermelon is very nutrition, especially for women as it's iron-rich. Well, what female doesn't need bittermelon ... but a word of caution for the unsuspecting, the vegie ... is ... very ... bitter. I actually like it, but I'm not going to eat it like I would a cucumber, although it goes very nicely raw mixed equally with cucumber. In that kind of salad, I grate the bittermelon and cut the cucumber in thin rings. With some cherry tomatoes or a little lemon juice and salt, it's quite the nice salad. This recipe I bumped into online and just wanted to try it. I prefer not to cook my vegies if I can help it, but hey, an experiment today ["today" being a month ago]. Bittermelon with Egg and Onions Bittermelon with egg and onions, also called goya chanpuru in Japanese, and it is an Okinawan delicacy. I was telling my Philippina friend about it because she introduced me to this exotic healthy "treat...
