What a lovely dish at nearly at the end of a week of gourmet eating courtesy of vegetarian #2. I've been heading towards LCHF for some time and finding it easy and very much to my taste. I have no idea what it's doing to me but I seem leaner and I certainly feel well and fit much of the time at 64 although it would be great if it could cure backache! I had blood tests done yesterday and I'll be interested in the results.
Doing LCHF 'properly' this week has been a real success in terms of enjoying the food and not getting hungry between meals. We are sold on it now. We have found the program really adaptable e.g. we took the mushroom fritatta out with us for a packed lunch yesterday and it was delicious cold. My husband is now won over to this way of eating and has started making jokes like 'Not another absolutely gorgeous meal! Can't they do something bland and boring? :)
We've got family staying next week. Apparently, our sister-in-law has just been told her BP is too high and her doctor is talking about statins. They run and go hill-walking but love their cereal and bread. We sense an opportunity. . . . .
Thanks so much for your feedback. We've listened, re-tested this recipe, and improved it. We hope once you try it again yourself, you'll notice the difference — and love it as much as we do.
Happy cooking!

I love normal Nasi Goreng so would like to 'keto-ise' this recipe if possible.
