A delicious and low-calorie beef and tomato stew - even diet meals can be this tasty.
My approach to diet meals focuses mainly on two metrics: total calories and protein intake, without paying too much attention to specific amounts of carbohydrates, sugar, salt, or fats. So, as long as I ensure sufficient protein intake and keep the overall calories low, I'm quite generous with seasoning when preparing dishes. This way, diet meals remain flavorful and help me eat healthier without even noticing. This low-calorie beef and tomato stew is a great example - it’s high in protein, low in calories, and still incredibly tasty.

Here’s the translation of your recipe into English:
Ingredients:
450 g lean sirloin beef
796 ml canned tomatoes
200 g konjac noodles
200 g mushrooms
10 g green onions
Seasonings:
5 g cooking oil
0.75 tsp salt
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp cornstarch
0.25 tsp white pepper
0.5 tsp baking soda
1 tsp oyster sauce
1 tsp granulated sugar
0.5 tsp chicken powder
Cooking Instructions:
1. Slice the beef against the grain to break the muscle fibers. Rinse the konjac noodles with water and drain. Slice the mushrooms, and chop the green onions into small pieces.
2. Add 0.5 tsp of baking soda and 0.25 tsp of salt to the beef slices. Add enough water to cover the beef, stir briefly, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
3. After 5 minutes, drain the water from the beef, rinse with clean water, and drain again. Add 1 tbsp of soy sauce, 0.25 tsp of white pepper, 0.25 tsp of salt, and 1 tsp of cornstarch to the beef. Mix well and marinate for 15 minutes.
4. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the marinated beef slices, and stir gently to separate the slices. Cook for about 30 seconds until the beef just starts to change color, then remove and set aside.
5. In another small pot, heat 5 g of cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of green onions and stir-fry. Add the entire canned tomatoes and stir briefly, then add all the mushrooms and konjac noodles. You can also add about 200 ml of water if necessary.
6. Add 1 tsp of oyster sauce, 1 tsp of sugar, 0.25 tsp of salt, and 0.25 tsp of chicken powder. Stir well, then simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes to let the flavors combine. Add the beef slices, cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, and turn off the heat.
7. Garnish with some chopped green onions and enjoy!
