Ingredients:

1 cup chicken, cut into bite sized pieces, .
2 tbsp lime juice
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp sliced lemon grass
1 tbsp sliced shallot (purple onions)
2 tbsp diced 'spanish' onion
1 tbsp scallion/green onion thinly sliced
1 tbsp thinly sliced garlic
1 tsp prik phom (freshly
1 ground dried red chilis)
2 tbsp chicken stock
1 tbsp thinly sliced prik ki
1 nu daeng (red birdseye chilis)
1 tsp sugar
1 bai makroot (kaffir lime leaf), shr, edded

Instructions:

This dish has a nice poetic name, as the three words
of the name rhyme. Those who don't like chili can
always leave it out. Method:
Mix the lime juice and fish sauce, and marinate the
chicken for about an hour.
Pound the lemon grass with a mallet or meat tenderizer
and then very thinly slice it.
Heat a little oil in a wok or skillet to medium high
heat, add the shallots, onions, garlic, prik phom and
lemon grass, and stir fry until aromatic.
Add the chicken and marinade and stir fry until it
starts to change color. Add the remaining ingredients
and stir fry until heated through and the chicken is
fully cooked. Serve with steamed [jasmine] rice.
This dish can also be made with shrimp (kung sai
takrai).

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.

"I know [canned music] makes chickens lay more eggs and factory workers produce more. But how much more can they get out of you on an elevator?" - Victor Borge
