What Is Braggs Liquid Aminos

Darlene and I both use Bragg’s Liquid Aminos and have for years. I’ve looked into this and to the best of my knowledge Braggs Liquid Aminos and Braggs All Purpose Seasoning is the exact same thing. One is the US version and one is the Canadian Version. Because we use Braggs so much, I thought I’d post this here on the blog so that we can refer to it when needed. Braggs is a healthy replacement product for Soy Sauce.

Recipe: Steamed Kale With Chicken

Kale freezes well and actually tastes sweeter and more flavorful after being exposed to a frost.Kale is a very good source of iron, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin K and Carotenoids (which provide vitamin A). Kale is considered to be one of the most highly nutritious vegetables, with powerful antioxidant properties and is anti-inflammatory. In Japan, kale juice is a popular dietary supplement. In this recipe, chicken is the main protein source with steamed Kale as a side dish.

Steamed Kale With Chicken

Ingredients (use organic when possible):
– small bunch of kale
– 2-3 cloves garlic
– sesame oil
– Bragg’s liquid Aminos or All Purpose Seasoning
– Udo’s oil
– sesame seeds for garnish

Wash kale thoroughly. De stem with scissors or a knife. Peel garlic and mince or slice finely. Add a tsp or so of sesame oil to a pan. Add garlic and kale stems when hot. Stir fry on low until stems start to soften. Meanwhile – chop or cut the kale leaves into pieces 2×2” or so. Add to pan with a bit of water and cover to steam. Kale is done when leaves are wilted and stems are tender.

Remove from pan and put on plates to serve. Add a couple squirts of Braggs, a tsp of Udo’s and sprinkle some sesame seeds over it.

More About Kale

Tender kale greens can provide an intense addition to salads, particularly when combined with other such strongly-flavored ingredients as dry-roasted peanuts, tamari-roasted almonds, or red pepper flakes.

Recipe: Baby Carrots, Asparagus on Brown Rice With Kale

Kale (also called Borecole) is a form of cabbage, green in color, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms. The species Brassica oleracea contains a wide array of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. Kale is considered to be one of the most highly nutritious vegetables, with powerful antioxidant properties and is anti-inflammatory

Baby Carrots, Asparagus on Brown Rice With Kale Vegetarian Recipe

Baby carrots and asparagus with dijon/dill mustard sauce: Steam the veggies until tender – or cook on low heat in a pan with little or no oil. Add a spoon of dijon mustard, and something to sweeten – I recommend Stevia, but maple syrup, agave, or brown rice syrup would work too. Add chopped fresh dill to taste. Avoid refined sugars and use alternatives such as listed above.

With this one I also cooked brown rice and the greens are kale stems with onion, then add the leaves chopped up to wilt and raisins at the end. Season it on your plate with a bit of olive oil and Bragg’s liquid amino’s.
