Hi, I'm Gabi and I'm going to show you how to make a really tasty Thai dinner that is low in carbohydrates. So, what I've got here is some steamed broccoli and tofu. And to do this all I did was put some broccoli in a bowl, cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave it for two minutes on high. It's nice and steamed. The vegetables are nice and crisp. The tofu is still soft... firm. Now I'm going to make my sauce. It's so easy. So I need about two tablespoons full of soy sauce. I'm going to use about a teaspoon of chili garlic sauce. If you're sensitive to spiciness, maybe use a little bit less. But it has a really tasty flavor and zero grams of carbs. There's also zero grams of carbs in the soy sauce... and some fresh garlic, just a tiny bit. Mix that together. And now, I'm going to toss it over, just sort of drizzle it. And this would be a tasty side dish or a main course. You've got protein in here. I'm going to toss it together. And it's really important to garnish your food especially if you're watching carbs. It's important to make sure that your food looks pretty so that you really enjoy it. So I've got some fresh chopped cilantro that's really nice and also some green onions. And this dish has about three grams of carbohydrates all together. It's tasty. It's filling and you'll enjoy it.
