Ingredients:
1 chicken
1 tsp garlic salt
5 cup flour
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
Instructions:
Cook hen in pressure cooker with lots of salt and MSG, plus 1 teaspoon
garlic salt. (If you don't use MSG, just omit it instead of
lecturing me, okay?) Cover chicken with water and close. Place 15-lb
weight on top and cook over medium-high heat. When the weight starts
"popping" 2 to 3 times a minute, cook 15 minutes. Cool the chicken
and de-bone.
Mix flour, salt, 1/2 teaspoon MSG and a little less than 1/2 teaspoon
baking powder. Blend eggs with 1 1/4 Cup *cool* chicken stock from
pot (1/3 of it should be fat). Stir into flour a little at a time. On
flour-covered board, knead dough and roll it out till thinner than a
nickel. Cut dumplings (about 2 inches wide by 10 inches, or however
long possible). Stack well-floured dumplings onto plate.
In large pot, bring the rest of the stock to a boil over medium-high
heat. Add the chunks of chicken alternately with the dumplings;
quickly pushing them below the surface of the liquid as you add them.
DON'T FOLD THE DUMPLINGS!
Keep mixture boiling at all times. Lower heat; cover and cook for
12-15 minutes. Don't lift the lid for the first 10 minutes.
Add 1 teaspoon pepper to broth --> might need to add additional stock
during the cooking process.
Servings: 6
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
