Help,
My son and I are trying to lose some weight by eating more vegetables and less starches. The son likes butter or margarine (sp?) melted over steamed broccoli or green beans.
We're looking for maybe a "butter flavor" or cheese sauce (but thicker and able to cling to the veggies better than butter) to mix in with vegetables. It doesn't necessarily need to be a low cal sauce because i am increasing the amount of veggies we eat. I know very little about sauces so please give me a lot of details on how to make the sauce. Something not too complicated, that a beginner like me can make.
In addition, i need some ideas on a sauce for stir-fry kinds of dishes. The only thing i have come up with is broth thickened with cornstarch and salt, pepper,a little garlic, but its kinda bland and could use a little Asian flair.
Thanks for the help, Gary
