Egg Drop Soup
Z2-Appetizers & Snacks,Z2-Eggs,ZSpecialties,Z2-Vegetarian,ZS-Dieter Favorites,Z2-Soup,ZS-5 Ingredients or Less
This soup is a staple at Chinese restaurants. It is filling, delicate and delicious. Unfortunately, one of the ingredients in most restaurant egg drop soup recipes is MSG. The recipe below is an MSG-free version of the traditional classic, so it won't taste exactly the same, but we think it's just as delicious.
Sesame Kale

This recipe was submitted by Plan Z coach, Pearl. She loves kale and makes this recipe often.
Asian Chicken with Veggie Slaw (ZReduction Version)
ZSpecialties,Z2-Salads,Z2-Poultry,ZS-Zola to Go
This looks like a lot of ingredients, but you’ll see it’s sort of a dump and cook recipe. Not difficult at all. If you love making Asian food you probably have many of these ingredients in the house.
Asian Balsamic Glazed Salmon
A tasty dish you can have on the table in under thirty minutes!
Grilled Tuna with an Asian Flair
Tuna is a hearty piece of fish full of antioxidants and protein. This meal will leave you full and satisfied.
Zippy Scallion Onion Salad
Z2-Salads,Z2-Vegetarian,Z2-Sides
This recipe is designed for your barbecue needs. Of course you can eat it with anything but I had the Korean BBQ Sauce in mind when I paired these up. The Korean sauce is sort of sweet and then this is zippy.
Whitefish with an Asian-Cajun Remoulade
Some would call this fancy frou-frou food. Who knows what a remoulade is!? Foodies do. And foodies understand the concept of fusion food. This is one of those--a spicy combination of Cajun and Asian to make a new style of remoulade that can go with any kind of fish. I used flounder for my dish, but you can use any white fish. If you use a thicker one like sea bass you’ll have to cook it longer but the sauce won’t change.
Asian Veggie Stir Fry
ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Sides,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Vegetarian
This dish can be served with something as simple as a grilled steak or a baked chicken breast. If you want an American-Asian combo this is the way to go. It’s also designed to be served with the seared sea scallops for a more Asian-directed entrée.
Asian Asparagus
ZS-5 Ingredients or Less,Z2-Sides,Z2-Vegetarian,ZSpecialties
This type of dinner comes together VERY quickly. The flavors of the asparagus make a very simple dinner taste fancy and pairs really nicely with a plain, grilled piece of meat.
Chinese – American Stir Fry
This is an easy way to satisfy and Asian food craving. It’s also a great way to clean out the refrigerator! You can use many types of veggies with this dish.
Quick Asian Stir Fry
Z2-Poultry,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,ZS-Zola to Go
Dinner in 20 minutes or less! Promise! This dish is so easy, you can make it with beef, chicken or even shrimp.
Savory Chinese Chicken Stir Fry
This is NOT spicy just savory Chinese with really good flavors. I find this a great way to clear out the refrigerator.
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Z2-Entrees,ZSpecialties,Z2-Poultry,ZS-Dieter Favorites
Chinese food is the hardest of the ethnic foods to convert for Plan Z. Dieter Jeff exclaimed that this could not possibly be diet food! Well, Jeff… It’s diet food. Plan Z diet food.
Asian Veggie Medley
Z2-Sides,Z2-Vegetarian,Z2-Entrees
Can be doubled for a large group or a larger portion that will be reheated.
Chinese – American Chicken Salad
Z2-Poultry,Z2-Salads,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,ZS-Zola to Go
I serve this over shredded lettuce to make a larger salad.
Sweet and Sour Pork
You are not seeing things! I managed to take one of the most fattening and sugar-filled Chinese dishes on the planet and came up with a substitute that got raves at the office.
Wasabi-Ginger Crusted Mahi Mahi with Baby Bok Choy
Mahi mahi is often mistaken for dolphin. That’s because it used to be called “dolphin fish.” But it's not dolphin. Mahi mahi is a fish. The fillets look sort of like tuna or swordfish.
Grilled Tuna Salad
Z2-Seafood,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Salads
When on ZReduction we, of course, cannot have mayonnaise. So I wanted a tuna salad and came up with this one. I bet you can make this with canned tuna to save money.
Sweet Asian Glazed Sea Bass
The sweet flavor of the fish will come through and you’ll feel very happy.
Scallops with Asian Stir Fry
This recipe is a budget splurge, but can also be made with shrimp. Sometimes, you just need to splurge and let loose so you feel good about what you eat, and still lose weight!
Chicken Stir Fry
Z2-Poultry,ZS-Zola to Go,Z2-Entrees,ZSpecialties
This can easily be reheated at work for a Zola To GO! meal and some might even like it cold.
Spicy Mandarin Orange Chicken
I had this for lunch today – was spicy and sweet and sort of made me forget I’m sitting in the middle of a snowstorm!
Mandarin Chicken with Pea Pods
Have you ever had fruit with your chicken? It may sound kind of crazy, but it adds a nice sweet citrus flavor to this dish.
Thai Chicken Burgers with Asparagus Stir Fry and Wilted Greens
There’s no need for noodles or rice with this kind of Asian cooking.
Asian Chicken and Cabbage Salad
Z2-Poultry,Z2-Salads,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,ZS-Zola to Go
In the Zola to GO! version of this recipe you can eat the chicken cold or transport it separately and heat the chicken before putting it on the salad.
Warm Asian Chicken and Citrus Salad
Z2-Poultry,Z2-Entrees,Z2-Salads
This will be your vegetables, your protein and half of your fruit.
Amy’s Simple Stir-Fry
This is a very simple stir-fry. It’s really just your asian veggies with shrimp or chicken added. Super easy, super quick.
Asian Sirloin Steak Stir Fry
Z2-Beef,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,ZS-Zola to Go
The leftovers for this meal will travel well so make extra and you can take some to work for lunch! This is not an overly spicy dish. If you want it HOT you can add some cayenne.
Beef with Zola’s Asian Orange Sauce
Z2-Beef,ZSpecialties,Z2-Entrees,ZS-Dieter Favorites
We had a big party the other day. I wanted to serve several items that are approved on Plan Z. This beef recipe can even be eaten on the ZReduction portion of the diet.
