Low Sodium Diet-Scrambled Eggs on a Mountain
Due to popular demand,(ahem) I am coming up with more special diet recipes. This one is low sodium. According to ADA (American Diabetes Association) our bodies require 220 mg sodium (salt) per day.But average person normally takes in almost 5,000 mg per day. The ADA recommends that people with diabetes should keep their daily sodium to less than 3,000 mg and those with mild or moderate hypertension stay under 2,400 mg per day. But it does not necessarily mean that we should cut sodium completely from our diets. We need it as much as we need vitamins. The word is moderation. So here is a low sodium diet recipe. Scrambled Eggs on a Mountain 2 tbsps vegetable oil or corn oil 2 eggs pepper and herbs, (optional) salt or salt substitute,(garlic salt) Use eggs only-no cream, milk or water Cooking instruction 1.Beat eggs several hours in advance preferably the night before. 2.Keep in refrigerator until cooking time. 3.Briely beat up eggs again and season with pepper, herbs and salt. 4.Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan, pour in the eggs and just as the eggs begin to set, slip one prong of a large fork underneath the eggs across the pan. 5.Rotate the fork slowly to roll the egg up on fork as it cooks and to let the uncooked part move to the edge of the pan. 6.When most of the egg is cooked raise the fork, pulling the center of the eggs up unto a high mountain and letting the rest of the uncooked eggs roll against the side of the pan. Then slip it off onto a warm serving platter. recipes,special diets |
