Meatballs and Mashed Okara

Monday Dinner

- Beef Meatballs

- Mashed Okara

- Stir-fried Water Spinach (Kang Kong)

- Stir-fried Tomatoes and Eggs  

I always keep homemade meatballs in freezer for emergency backups when I don't have any protein in fridge or when I don't feel like cooking anything.  Yesterday was former.  Throw frozen meatballs in 180˚C oven with veggies (green beans, mushroom and broccoli) and cook for 20mins while preparing side dishes.  I seasoned water spinach with fish sauce and used oyster sauce for tomatoes and eggs.

I made way too much food for 2 people and probably didn't need mashed Okara, but it turned out pretty good (recipe below).  This is a low-carb version of mashed potatoes but could also be rice or noodle substitute for people on low-carb diet.  I also think this has a potential to be made into a low-carb white sauce with more milk or water.  I will definitely be trying that in the near future.
