Three green bell peppers, stir fried in peanut oil with garlic, red
chile flakes and a tiny bit of msg. Added soy sauce right at the
end. An extra spinkling of cayenne after plating and tasting.

A good diet breakfast. Would have been better with a little pork,
beef or chicken in it.

Needs rice too (that'll work him up!)


Today was Chinese Food Day at work today. I had the garlic chicken
combo, which is chicken stir-fried with green pepper, water chestnuts,
bamboo shoots, and carrots. I get it with white rice instead of the
usual fried.

The combo also comes with soup (hot and sour), fried wonton, crab
Rangoon, and a fortune cookie. It seems that this is a lucky time for
me and that I should take a chance.

Hoisin (a good one) is right up there too. By "a good one" I mean
something other than la Choy or Dynasty -- Lee Kum Kee is not bad.

Where's the garlic? Properly done, that dish comes out of the kitchen
all by itself, blowing the door off as it comes.

Then it wouldn't have been "diet."

I wish I'd had a can of bamboo, some carrots and some mushrooms, but I
did not.

I was only referencing the major visible products. There was a sauce as
well, which does contain some garlic, although not overwhelmingly so.

Depends on your "diet".

I make a lot of stir-fry at home, so I always have those on hand there.
