I have a food question. Lately I've taken to slicing thin coins of zucchini along with sliced mushrooms and setting them into a shallow pan of hot oil.
They deep fry up till very brown and quite crispy. Then I lay them between 2 sheets of paper towel to press as much of the oil out.
They now weigh as light as a feather!
So....my question is if I now place these yummy bits onto my food scale and they come up SO light, is that an accurate amount to enter into my caloric totals for the day? ( yes, I am still counting all the calories )
For example before I fry them the zucchini coins might weigh 40 grams, but after cooking it comes to about 8 grams.
I considered entering a scant tsp of EVOO into the caloric chart to account for any oil that IS still in them.
Oh..... I use these fried crispy veg in a wrap, by piling them all on top of a portion of ricotta cheese that is spread onto the Lavash sheet. I roll it up, they are so good!

I made a ramen. I sautéed some broccoli that was on its way out, same with the carrots, fresh mushrooms and garlic and added the spicy spice blend from 2 ramen packs and the better than bullion no chicken chicken stock. Finished off with cubed tofu for more protein and added fresh spinach just as I served. Oh sooooooo good. Spicy but not overpowering and a great use of whatever veg you have on hand. Enough leftovers for Dh’s lunch tomorrow
