This dish is from Cooking Light. A very healthy Asian inspired meal. Cooking Light is a great source of flavorful recipes that are low in fat and calories, but will please a family. No one will notice anything that screams low fat!!!
Annually Cooking Light produces a hard cover book of that years recipes, plus tips and etc. the books have a cover price of about $35, but I've found that a search on Amazon will yield used copies starting at about $5 or $6 plus shipping. This will save you a ton!
When using a Cooking light recipe you will find some elements you may not like. As an example the Garlic Pork dish called for brown rice. (YUK!) I used pasta in instead. Yes, the calories in the dish went up because of this as did the carbs. But the basic meal was much lower in fat and calories anyway. It represents a great and healthy improvement over many other recipes, and still allowed me to enjoy all aspects of it. To me this compromise is the key to sustained healthy eating.
Be dedicated to using fresh, high quality produce, low fat proteins, use cooking spray whenever possible, and you will dramatically reduce calories and fat content, and you won't feel like you're sacrificing.
