Modifying a Dish
10:52 PM
Today, I modified a dish that I had consumed during one of the meals in the tracking of the 3-day diet. I modified the Spinach with Mushrooms dish so as to make it healthier and tastier.

Instead stir-frying it in oyster sauce, I instead chose to boil the spinach into a soup, together with egg tofu, silver fish and sauteed garlic. Instead of canola oil, I replaced the oil with olive oil, which is healthier. I call it the MIGHTY POPEYE'S CONCOTION OF LIFE. (No, I'm just kidding.)
I made the dish according to the Healthy Food Pyramid with tofu as the needed carbohydrates, spinach as fibre and silverfish as the meats group. The dish has more variety and is healthier and contains more nutrients. Tofu is a great source of protein and calcium and it does not contain a lot of fat or sodium. I specially used olive oil as it is a vegetable oil and is healthier than most cooking oils on shelves. Silver fish is also a great source of calcium as the bones are easy to swallow. Spinach contains a lot of dietary fibre, which can promote healthy bowel movement and control blood glucose levels. Boiling is also a healthier method of cooking as compared to frying and grilling.

The process of cooking this dish was very enjoyable and I hope to be able to cook this tasty yet healthy dish again!
