There are lots of great calorie calculators out there that you can use. Here’s one I like: https://www.caloriecount.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php

In reply to Jeremy Alexander. Goodness, Jeremy, lighten up! I love Chinese food but I often do not like the way I feel afterwards. I found a great little Chinese restaurant a few years ago that uses no MSG both places use soy sauce (which I avoid when cooking and substitute with coconut aminos) so its not the soy sauce; truly the difference is the absence of MSG. I don't feel bad when I eat there. Some people do not have a sensitivity to MSG but some do. My poor niece looks like a blow fish after eating MSG and is a great indicator of false advertisement.

In reply to Tamara H.. I've never had a reaction to gluten before (I've done two elimination diets in solidarity with my husband), but I do know that it can be a real struggle for a lot of folks!

In reply to Ken. Slow cookers vary pretty wildly in their "slowness". You won't hurt anything by going all the way to 4 hours, but it might be ready as early as 2 hours, depending on your slow cooker. :)

In reply to Jeremy Alexander. WELL I DISAGREE WITH YOU ON THE MSG BECAUSE ANYTHING I EAT THAT HAS MSG IN IT MAKES ME VERY SICK..

Coming from someone with celiac disease, it sounds like what made you sick was maybe the gluten in the soy. Many people don’t know that there is gluten in soy which can definitely give you a headache and upset stomach if you have sensitively to gluten. I can’t wait to make this with gluten free soy. Thanks for sharing!

2-4 hours for cooking is a very wide range. Is there a variable that determines the correct time?

I’m sorry, but your story is incorrect and you are spreading false information. MSG had nothing to do with your issue. You may have just gotten over your food hang ups, but there is not a single shred of scientific accuracy that MSG causes any problems, let alone headaches. It is one of the most abundant amino acids in nature and in many foods we eat. If you got headaches from MSG in chinese food you would have gotten them from things like tomatoes and cheese which are also full of natural MSG. Needless to say I won’t be trying your recipe and you should stop spreading false information.
