Ingredients:
4 cup chicken broth
2 cup diced celery
1 cup diced onion
1 cup chopped cabbage (bok choy if availa, ble)
2 tbsp peanut oil
1 1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 1/2 cup fresh bean sprouts
2 tbsp dark molasses
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp butter
2 eggs, beaten
4 to 5 tbl cornstarch
1 lb cooked, boned chicken, torn into bi, te-size shreds
1 can chow mein noodles
Instructions:
In a saucepan, bring the chicken broth to simmer. Add the celery,
onion, and cabbage. Simmer, stiring occasionally, until the celery
is soft.
Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok. Saute the mushrooms
until they begin to soften. Add the bean sprouts; cook and stir
until they are soft. Use a slotted spoon to place the celery, onion,
and cabbage in the skillet. Add the molasses and soy sauce. Stir and
cook, adding enough broth to keep it moist and loose.
Melt the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat. Cook the eggs
until firm, with minimal stirring. You want an "egg pancake". Remove
the eggs from the pan, season to taste, and slice into thin strips.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining chicken broth. Stir into the
vegetables in the wok, and stir as the mixture thickens. Add torn
chicken and heat through.
To serve, put a layer of chow mein noodles on each plate and heap
with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with the shreds of eggs.

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.
"Stupidity is the devil. Look in the eye of a chicken and you'll know. It's the most horrifying, cannibalistic, and nightmarish creature in this world." - Werner Herzog
