Omelette De Leftovers

Saturday we went out to dinner for my sister’s birthday. It’s become some kind of tradition to go to this local Japanese Steakhouse for dinner on family birthdays. It’s really fun watching them prepare the food right in front of you, and my nephew gets a kick out of the guy throwing food at us to catch with our mouths. It’s an all around good time. The bad news is that everything is covered in oil and butter and sauces. So naturally it’s delicious, but not exactly healthy.

I ordered the Hibachi Shrimp, which comes with Fried Rice, Salad with that delicious Asian Ginger Dressing, Soup, and Veggies. I ate all of my soup, salad, and veggies. There was no hope of any of those making it out of the restaurant. As soon as our entrée was on out plates, I asked for a to-go box. This is the only way I can stop myself from wanting to clear the whole plate. I put well over half of my meal in the box (they give you SO much food!).

I don’t like leftover rice, so that wasn’t a temptation, but I really love shrimp, so I needed to find some way to cook it. I decided to add it to my scrambled egg whites this morning along with some of the leftover onion and mushrooms. (You can’t really see the shrooms in the picture)

Egg Whites really go well with just about anything (personal opinion). They’re a lot like tofu: seriously tasteless until you add stuff to them. So any leftovers you guys have could be really good added to your egg whites. I’ve added steak, chicken, veggies, seafood, and all kinds of other stuff before. Just be careful of your calorie total J
