Living on the edge of hunger

This news article caught my attention when I read 'According to a growing number of believers, the key to tacking on an extra 20 years to your lifespan is to live on the edge of hunger — constantly.' It discusses eating until you are 80% full. Would you do this? I wouldn't have the discipline.


I gave L this simple recipe for bean sprouts when she left for university:





454g/1lb bean sprouts
2 tbs dark soy sauce
1 - 2 tbs oyster sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbs canola oil
(as always, my measurements are approximate and you can adjust to your taste as L does. Note that no additional salt is required)

Heat canola oil in a saute pan.
Add rinsed bean sprouts, soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder.
Stir fry for about five minutes and you're done.

L has started to cook more, and finally decided to try the recipe. Always creative, she added some snow peas to the mix. It was a big success with her friends. They even asked for the recipe!


Here's my finished product:



Amazingly, this is one serving of the two or three meat/alternative protein requirements for the day. Because bean sprouts are a legume, I think.
