Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef & Noodles

 

Slow Cooker Mongolian Beef & Noodles

This wasn't that great. And with beef being crazy expensive right now that kinda sucks. I mean we will still eat it but it's not that great lol. It kinda just tastes like beef and gravy? I ended up adding some frozen stir fry veggies just to get some veggies in us. I mean it's not gross, but it's pretty heavy and doesn't taste too much like any sort of Asian food. We topped it with sriracha, chili crisp and green onions.

Trader Joe's Kung Pao Chicken, Veggie Cauli Rice, Wontons 8 Points

 

 

 

These points were calculated for WW Blue

  I'll have to make it over to Trader Joe's more often, these frozen Chinese meals are super quick and good for the points.

- TJ's frozen Kung Pao Chicken. 1 cup is 6 points

- CJ Bibigo Chicken & Cilantro Mini Wontons. 4 Pieces 2 points

- Veggie Cauliflower Rice. 0 points

   I recommend air frying the chicken for the kung pao, it gets nice in crispy. Then just heat the veggies in a pot, add the air fried chicken and stir in sauce.

  Veggie Cauliflower Rice:

- 1 bag TJ's Stir Fried Vegetables

- 1 bag frozen cauliflower rice

- Flavorings: Soy sauce, TJ's umami seasoning, garlic, pepper 

- 2 eggs (you can omit this if you'd like)

  Microwave the cauli rice for less time then the bag says to. Heat a skillet and spray it with cooking spray. Cook the Stir Fried Veggie's for a couple of minutes while the cauli rice is microwaving. Then pour the cauli rice in the skillet. I added what felt right for all the seasonings and soy sauce. Then I cracked 2 eggs and folded in until the eggs were cooked.

  Mini Wontons with 0 point sauce:

- As many mini wontons as you'd like

- Sugar free teriyaki sauce

- Red pepper flakes

- Soy sauce

  Heat a skillet sprayed with cooking spray and place in wontons. Drizzle with teriyaki and soy sauce. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Cover with a lid and heat until wontons are cooked, about 5 minutes.

WW Trader Joe's Chinese Fakeout 12 Points

 

  

  I've been wanting to make a WW Cheesy Gordita Crunch recipe that I found all week, but I can't find the right pita bread ANYWHERE, it's out at all the places that carry it. I had no idea what I was going to be making for dinner tonight, but my parents asked if I wanted to tag along to Trader Joe's with them.....and yes! So I ended up getting Chinese "takeout" for dinner. Here is the info:

 - Trader Joe's Orange Chicken. This is 9 points per cup, and I would not normally eat something so high in points but oh well. I air fried it at 370 for 10 minutes, stirred, then air fried it for 8 more minutes. It was cooked after that but I wanted it to be more crispy so I air fried it at 400 for 2 minutes more. Then it was perfect. I do have to say one thing......Foster Farms orange chicken is better.....the sauce is thicker. TJ's sauce was very thin. I don't know if Foster Farms is more points though. Don't get me wrong, TJs was delicious, but we've always bought Foster Farms and you can tell the difference. 

- Trader Joe's Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry. You can have up to 2.5 cups for 1 point. I did add the TJ's Umami seasoning and soy sauce because I can't stop myself from seasoning things. The best cauli rice I've had!

- Mini Wontons. 4 for 2 points. These are from Costco not Trader Joe's, but Trader Joe's does have similar mini wontons. I cooked them up in a skillet with soy sauce, sugar free teriyaki and red pepper flakes.
