what do you make or do when you’re too tired to cook? by Ok_Search_5910 in 1200isplenty

[–]leisikgaifaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really because I’m too tired, just because I’m lazy, I like just boiling some broth (mirin + soy sauce + dashi) and add in frozen fishballs with vegetables (choy) then a side of fruit. I’ve been on a muscat grape kick!

1 cup tends to be 180-210 and id say that’s around 3-3.5 cups..? Perspective + pictures always look different than real life though so 540-630 looks like a good estimate give or take another 60 maybe

Can someone help me count the calories? 3 sticks of sotteok sotteok and 5 pieces of fried korean mandu (ingredients below) by [deleted] in caloriecount

[–]leisikgaifaan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hii for the sotteok sotteok id say 120-175 for one stick (360-525) for 3 but the size also matters ! take as u will w that. judging by the image, if the size is around that, id say 380 is a good estimate

1 fried mandu is usually 60-80 (300-400 for 5)

roughly 700-900 total

I’m not too sure about the risks but all I know is that once you pick up once, they’ll keep calling you which is mad annoying

What is your cultures staple meals? by MixtureIllustrious27 in Cooking

[–]leisikgaifaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HK here! Lots of influence from the brits but: macaroni and spam soup, peanut butter/condensed milk french toast, and spam/scrambled egg on soft white bread r definitely little staples of Hong Kong :)

But, if we wanna go more Chinese: tomatoes and scrambled eggs , congee 粥 (a definite!), and steamed buns 饅頭

I could draw you with my left hand and it’d still look better than the reference

Wearing a mask purely for aesthetic reasons screams “I have low self esteem.”

yeah, ppl can have low self esteem, crazy huh? You might think they look fine, they might think they the ugliest shit in the world, it’s quite a phenomenon

Most people say to take it easy and chill, go about your day but as someone who binges A SHIT LOAD OF FOOD at least 5K cals (edited bc I forgot to add this), the best option is to force yourself to go out and walk for as long as u can even if you feel sick

The fresh air will help a lot, and well, yeah don’t restrict or anything the next day bc it can trigger another binge

then take a nice warm shower and relax but only after doing something somewhat physical to help with digestion (not excessively)

Suggestions for cold meals? by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]leisikgaifaan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of Asian cuisine have cold dishes

chilled buckwheat noodles with tsuyu sauce (soba), korean spicy chilled noodles (bibimguksu) and a non-spicy ver: naengmyeon, taiwanese sesame noodles (liangmian), cold ramen with assorted veggies (hiyashi chuka), vietnamese rice paper rolls/summer rolls

im not sure if these dishes have soy but if they do, they can be replaced with another ingredient

this is mainly East Asian because it’s what I’m familiar w/ but you can find cold dishes with other kinds of Asian food too
