(1) The perfect way to enjoy this dish is with 2 or 3 boiled eggs. Sarap.
(2) Where is the rice? We need carbs right?
Well, rice is not as bad as toxic grains but it still spikes your blood sugar and insulin as much as pure, evil table sugar. See here for 9 reasons I will never touch TOXIC, evil, man-made MONSTROCITY, sugar spiking, leaky gut and brain inducing grains again.
Why not follow Pinoyrunner’s recipe and have more quality carbohydrates and skip the cheapo carbos?
If you eat more sugar (white rice, bread, pasta, noodles) you are filling up on less nutritious food that actually makes you HANGRY. Your body thinks you are in starvation mode because the sugar gets shunted out off your blood stream and is stored as fat on your body.
With less calories in your blood stream your brains thinks you are starving (you are) and FORCES you to eat more by making you hungry.
Eat real food with real flavor and you will be more satisfied, less hungry and HAPPIER.
