Ingredients:
1 plain roasted chicken (about 2 1/2, lb)
8 oz fresh bean sprouts
2 medium cucumbers
1 carrots (or double amount)
DRESSING
3 tbsp sesame paste or peanut butter
2 tbsp finely chopped scallions
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp chinese white rice vinegar =or=- ci, der vinegar
3 tbsp light soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped garlic
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2/3 cup chicken stock
1 tbsp rice wine or dry sherry
Instructions:
TRIM THE BEAN SPROUTS at both ends. Peel the cucumber,
split it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds with
a teaspoon. Finely shred the cucumber into 3-inch
lengths. Peel and finely shred the carrots into 3-inch
lengths. Set the vegetables aside. Take all the meat
off the cooked chicken and shred it into fine strips
using a sharp knife or cleaver. Arrange the chicken
strips on a platter and surround them with the bean
sprouts, cucumbers and carrots. Combine all the
ingredients for the dressing and mix them thoroughly.
(I find an electric blender is useful for this, but
you could use a screw-top jar and shake everything in
it well.) Pour the dressing all over the chicken and
vegetables and mix well. Serve at once.

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.
"Poultry is for cookery what canvas is for painting, and the cap of Fortunatus for the charlatans. It is served to us boiled, roast, hot or cold, whole or in portions, with or without sauce, and always with equal success." Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
