Crackslaw
 
I love crackslaw and it's helped me lose a ton of weight :) Basically it's a mixture of ground meat, shredded cabbage and/or carrot and Asian spices. It's really addictive and great if you like Asian food.

There are various recipes for it at http://www.crackslaw.com and you can fiddle with the recipes to make your own version. I like it with ground chicken for a lighter flavor or with imitation crab for a fishy result but it's good with beef too. Less than 5 net carbs per portion and it's yummy! :yum:

Never heard of it before, but it looks delicious. I've got my husband interested as well. One caution - imitation crab contains starches, monosodium glutamate and other unsavory ingredients. You might want to stick to real meal and seafood.

I kind of wonder, what is a serving....I have a tendency to overeat my portions.....

Weird, I just heard about it for the first time via a friends post on Facebook. I love asian food to, may give it a try.

I like it with beef, cabbage and plenty of hot sauce. If it's really rich tasting I usually eat less. When I make this I halve the recipe and split it with my husband because that's 2 portions exactly, so I know the carbs, else I'd probably polish off the whole thing!

I just recently started making a version of this with ground moose meat. I have a ton of cabbage and looking for something different to do with my game meat.

My hubs won't eat cabbage not unless I sneak it into a stir fried veggie dish..but me on the other hand..love cabbage and ground beef.. so I have to buy that Angel hair cabbage mix....not the coleslaw mix...and just take a couple of handfuls out for me...or else I can eat the entire thing...but to be honest I am a leery about those bags of already cut cabbage, lettuce etc.. as everytime I see they are a causing salmonella...so I buy my own cabbage and shred.. though that defeats the purpose and convenience of it all..LOL..

I shred fresh in the food processor. It's quicker that way. I find the bagged kind fresh enough but it's far more expensive than buying one fresh cabbage. Of course I wash it well first.

Eating cooked cabbage (in crackslaw) is a much different proposition that eating raw cabbage in cole slaw. The heat should kill the germs. Still I'm with you, fresh cabbage, cut up at home is tastier and retains more vitamins. Even with shredding the cabbage yourself, crackslaw is a quick - and delicious - meal.

I've been trying to come up with new LC soups this winter and I bet crackslaw could be turned into soup really easily. Thanks for bringing up this thread again and giving me the idea.

I love cabbage....and I am so goofy I love to cut the cabbage in strips and drop in the soup like noodles LOL!!!

I never thought about that.. your so right.. once you cook it off.. it kills the germs.....

I worked out that making it with 2 lbs of beef and 14 oz of shredded cabbage, with all the seasonings, it was around 17 carbs for the whole recipe. I'd say I ended up with at least 8 cups, so certainly 4-5 servings.

Here are the seasoning ingredients I used because I had them on hand:

2 t. minced garlic, 1/2-1 t. sweetener, 1/2 t. ground ginger, 2 t. (white) vinegar, 2 T. soya sauce and about 2 T. Srircha chile sauce

Sunny59 Fri, Oct-25-13 21:00

That sounds awesome.. I am so uncreative I just use a little butter and soy sauce..LOL...

I love the crackslaw recipes and have made my own version several times. I've made an Asian, Indian and Italian versions. :yum:
They are so good that I lose all sense of portion control when I eat them. :o :lol:
