Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Delicioustarians!
How are you all doing?
I was happy to read that Ursy was inspired by lusciouskiwi to make dumplings at home. That is the awesome thing about this thread. We inspire each other. We also get to read about things that we have no access to and can decide if we want to make them. That would be Kimchi for me.
What I am hearing from friends is that the follow up from the Thanksgiving holiday has meant, eating lighter. This is a great time to try out some new dishes that you have never made before. "Light" does not need to be boring, light can mean, fresh, clean, energizing food. Foods that are not heavy with fats but are packed with quality carbs, healthy fats and lean proteins are a great alternative to the holiday feasting. Asian cuisines offer us many flavor layered options, and some are very simple to prepare.
Also, as you are coming off of the holiday feasting train, remember to drink lots of water. If you do not drink enough water, your body will not operate correctly, it is as simple as that. So stay hydrated!
