I eat A LOT! Which is the reason I now have to do the Keto thing for my health. This recipe could serve 2 over jasmine rice or ramen noodles, but only serves one hearty eater like me, on a Keto diet at dinner time. (I found my Thai green curry paste!) It makes a dinner plate of deliciousness in any case. Also consider serving it over quinoa, which is a complete protein alternative. For dessert, a handful of fresh blueberries with a bit of heavy cream and Truvia is still within my carb limit. Not a bad lifestyle at all!
