Who in the hell needs take-out?

Who the hell needs takeout?  A wonderful question to ask America.  There is certainly wonderful and healthful take out.  Even the best most nutritious take out doesn't beat what you can make at home.  I am really talking about the horrible salt-filled grease ridden take out that you often find in places that you can get an order in less that 7 minutes.  

This type of food is not okay.  It is not okay to rely on this type of food for dinner several times a week.  Sure its okay every once in awhile, but to have it be a mainstay is unacceptable.  It usually comes in the from the type of fast food Asian restaurants, greasy sandwich shops, and places where pre-package pre-prepared foods are found.  

Its difficult in the schedules we keep to move on from this lifestyle.  I present this to you though.  The meal that you find below I had no plan for.  I just had some chicken, mushrooms, broccoli, and rice.  So I cooked the rice, steamed the broccoli, cooked the chicken and mushrooms, and whipped up a quick low-sodium sauce to add in.  It also took my less than 15 minutes to prepare.

It  consisted of the following items:
1. Low-sodium oyster sauce 
2. Low-sodium soy sauce
3. Cornstarch
4. Garlic powder
5. Ground ginger 
6. Salt and pepper 

and that's it !!! 

So what it delivered is a nutritious hearty meal that had little to no salt in and was delicious and equally memorable. 

Enjoy !!!
