Asian Fish sauce recipe

This is my new favorite recipe to go over jasmine rice and swai fish! 

I found the recipe on Pinterest 
Here http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/asian-glazed-swai-fish/

My Pinterest board with it and others is 


Description

Healthy and flavorful Asian Glazed Swai Fish over jasmine rice. Make this one of your fall favorites and you won’t be sorry!

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 cup Jasmine Rice
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 teaspoons Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Sriracha
  • 2 teaspoons Rice Vinegar
  • 1 pound Swai Fish Fillets
  • 3  Green Onions, Chopped
  • Black Pepper To Taste

Preparation

For the rice: In a small pot add 1/3 of the oil and water and bring to a rolling boil. Add the jasmine rice, then cover the pot and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed by the rice

For the glaze: In a small bowl mix together the honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, rice vinegar, and pepper.

For the fish: Heat remaining 2/3 of the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Slice your fish fillets in half (if needed) and place in the oil in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side and then remove from heat. Add freshly ground pepper to the fish.

Plate your fish fillets over a bed of jasmine rice. Pour a few spoonfuls of glaze over the top of the fish.
Then sprinkle a few pieces of green onion over the top of the fish for a garnish.

I wanted to find a healthier alternative for Chinese food that doesn’t compromise the flavor or culinary experience that you find when sitting down for an Asian meal. Enjoy!

Pro- stacks plan Herbalife Powders

Here is a convenient way to pack powders for the day- prostacks! 
Let me show u how I use them: 

I fit my Herbalife Beverage mix (snack), Prepare (pre-workout), and rebuild (post workout) shake all in this nifty and easy to use shaker attachment. It's made to put your tablets in for lunch or for day, but I have a tablet box I use. 

The piece on the right screws up and into the lids of these other pieces inside. 
Here is the bev mix and prepare in one container. 
So in the end these r my powders for the day- shake for lunch, snack, pre workout and post workout. A lot packed into one thingy! 

They screw onto each other also and make it easy to take this one item out the door for your day! U can switch the powders and always be ready for your day!

Cauliflower side dish (blender)

I love mashed potatoes and boy did I need to replace them some. 
Garlic seasoned cauliflower steamed to a mashed potatoe or rice consistency! It's yum! 

1. Cut up cauliflower head (I used 1/2 head for 3 people small servings) 
2. Put in blender and chop it all up small 
3. Pour into microwave safe container. And cook for 5-8 mins. Stir and recook if you need it. The more you cook it the softer and musher it gets like mashed potatoes or more like rice. 

Here is the approximate calorie count. I use extra salt cause I love it! All of the sodium would replace if u want to use a salt free seasoning like Mrs Dash. (I had none on hand but will get back to ya on how that tastes)
