An easy Chinese-style breakfast


I recently went back to trying out the structure of China's meals. With hundreds of years or more of meal planning, and China's emphasis on balance, I found a system that lets you make a healthier and more organized structure. The key here, after all, is to work smarter, not harder; the more organized your meals are, the less work there is. On top of that you will learn how to eat healthier without the clichéd stereotype of depriving yourself of food and enjoyment.

Would you like to learn about sourdough bread? This bread preserves better than regular bread because of naturally produced compounds. Plus, the name "sourdough" actually refers to a method of capturing wild yeasts and causing them to proliferate in your jar. So by learning to make sourdough bread, you can actually avoid having to buy yeast. For those who make sandwiches and other bread-like meals, know this: making bread is cheaper than making it—healthier too!
