Ingredients:
1 medium roasting chicken
2 onions
4 cloves garlic
2 tsp dark soya sauce
3 tbsp tauco (salted yellow beans)
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp paprika (optional)
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup tamarind water
1 cup water
Instructions:
This recipe calls for 'tauco' which can be either salted black beans
or salted yellow beans. Either can be found in a Chinese market as
salted black bean or salted yellow bean sauce. Or you can track down
Indonesian salted yellow beans and smash 'em up yourself. Thai
markets carry them.
Cut the chicken into serving pieces; wash, and dry. Slice the onions.
Pound the garlic and the tauco into a smooth paste.
Fry the onions in the oil for half a minute. Add the tauco, then the
chicken. Stir well, so that every part of the chicken is coated with
tauco. Put in the soya sauce and the rest of the ingredients. Cover,
and simmer very gently for 45 minutes. Then take the lid off, and
cook for a further 5 minutes to reduce the sauce. Serve hot.
Makes 4 servings.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
