Ingredients:

SAUCE

1/2 cup chicken stock
1/4 tsp sugar
2 tsp soy sauce
1 pinch pepper
2 tsp corn starch, tapioca starch

STIR FRY

3/4 lb skinned, raw chicken
1/2 lb bok choy or nappa
4 water chestnuts
1/4 lb snow peas
1/2 cup bamboo shoots, diced
1/4 cup celery, diced
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup almonds, blanched
2 slice ginger
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 any other veggies desired

RICE

2 cup water
1 cup rice
1 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

Rice: I cook mine in the microwave for 18 minutes, in a covered 2 qt
corning dish. Sauce: In a small bowl, mix half the stock with soy
sauce, sugar and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine remaining stock
and cornstarch. Set aside. (I use 1 pk bovril chicken with 1/2 cup
water) Stir Fry: Dice chicken (or pork or beef), mushrooms, cabbage,
and water Chestnuts into 1/4 inch cubes. Keep chicken separate.
String and trim peas. Combine diced vegetables, snow peas, bamboo
shoots and celery. I often vary my ingredients. I use as
alternatives or additions, kale, sun chokes, jicama, or any other
ingredient you like. Heat wok over high heat til drop of water
sizzles into steam. Add oil, ( only use about 1 tbsp) heat and add
almonds; stir fry for about 2 min or til just golden. With slotted
spoon, remove almonds and set aside. Reheat oil and add ginger and
garlic and stir fry 30 seconds. Remove ginger and garlic and discard.
Add chicken. Stir fry for 2 minutes. Add all vegetables and toss to
coat with oil. Stir fry for 30 seconds. Add soy sauce mix. Cover and
steam for 2 minutes or til vegetables are tender but crisp and
chicken cooked through. Stir cornstarch mix and pour into wok. Stir
fry uncovered for 30 seconds or til ingredients are glazed. Transfer
to heated platter and serve topped with almonds. Serve over rice.

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
