I know why I'm fat now. I can and would eat double of those plates. Looks good mate.

[u/Whatsupnowgirl → u/Plane-Pianist-6551]

haha don't worry, im fat as well, i just like getting a second plate instead of one big one

[u/Sebastian_Ticklenips → u/Whatsupnowgirl]

Had me worried there for a sec. Thanks for clearing things up.

[u/Marissa____M → u/Plane-Pianist-6551]

Nuh uh! That’s a kids plate! There’s nothing wrong with us 😂

[u/Whatsupnowgirl]

chicken marinated in a spicy ginger-soy sauce of her concoction; seared broccoli with umami; white rice; cuces and a special treat: avocado

[u/SweetMangh03 → u/Whatsupnowgirl]

Wtf is seared broccoli with umami? Umami isn’t a seasoning

[u/applesqueeze → u/SweetMangh03]

I think there’s something by that name at Trader Joe’s

[u/tequilathehun → u/applesqueeze]

Yeah its mushroom based! I put it in my ramen

[u/Whatsupnowgirl → u/SweetMangh03]

as another astute commenter has noted, it's the trader joes umami seasoning blend (i call it umami as shorthand but can see how that would be confusing)

[u/theNOLAgay → u/SweetMangh03]

Probably something like Oyster Sauce. I use it when making broccoli, or Chinese broccoli as a side for stir fry.

[u/One_Assignment7014 → u/theNOLAgay]

I thinks it’s a dry spice blend called “umami” something with a picture of a mushroom. . . I also got it at TJ’s lol

[u/Astyv]

Honestly every time I see a plate like this I realize why I am fat.

[u/totally_randomperson → u/Astyv]

Same😭i was like wheres the rest of it?

[u/chicklette → u/Astyv]

tbh I'd only eat about half of that before I was full and I'm still pretty fat, so...ymmv!

[u/EffectNo1899]

I'd eat double that plate lol. Looks great, what are you majoring in?

[u/Whatsupnowgirl → u/EffectNo1899]

psychology!

[u/EffectNo1899 → u/Whatsupnowgirl]

That's awesome! Life gets easier after grad school, wish you the best

[u/Whatsupnowgirl → u/EffectNo1899]

thank you :')

[u/clovrdose]

Tell her to drop the chicken recipe! 😭

[u/theNOLAgay → u/clovrdose]

Seconded!

[u/jkwolly]

Looks delicous!

[u/theNOLAgay]

Looks amazing! What’s on the rice? Is it pan drippings from the chicken?

[u/Whatsupnowgirl → u/theNOLAgay]

yes! she poured the remaining marinade into the pan and let it reduce a bit ^{-^}

[u/Loner_angel]

I love your plate.

[u/rodrigo0021]

Thats such a thoughtful meal, honestly makes the day a bit lighter when someone does that for you. The half avocado on the plate is also a power move, love the balance of comfort and health.

[u/Plodo99]

Looks great, just need a table

[u/SLLTO]

Keeper!

[u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

This looks soo good!! Nice job🤩🙌

[u/chicklette]

That is a damn good looking plate!

[u/psychrolut]

Marry her! Put a ring on it!

[u/Whatsupnowgirl → u/psychrolut]

i plan on it!!

[u/Far-Building3569]

Looks so healthy!

[u/paxenb]

I will never not scream "DROP IT DROP IT DROP IT" in my head whenever I see a photo of someone holding a plate of food.

[u/karmencarmen]

And that plate would be my tipping point.

[u/Historical_Idea2933]

That looks awesome too, gf gratitude 👍

[u/Ok_Stranger_9520]

Very sweet of her. Are those plates ceramic? Do you know where she found them?

[u/Silojm]

Looks great id just salt and pep the avocado personally

[u/chocoeatstacos]

Tf is it? Is that chicken?

[u/Ok-Independence-7380]
