Ingredients:
1 cup chicken meat, minced
2 cup bean curd, mashed
3 egg whites
1/2 tsp ginger juice
1 tbsp gin
1 tbsp peanut oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp five-spice powder
1 pinch sugar
1 large carrot
1/2 cup stock
1 tsp sesame oil
1 cornstarch paste
3 large cabbage or lettuce leaves
Instructions:
This dish looks good, tastes good and is simple to prepare. It is one
of a family of pudding-like dishes.
Preparation: All mixing can be done in food processor. Or, use
cleaver to finely mince chicken and mash bean curd. In bowl, combine
egg whites, oil, ginger juice, gin, salt, five-spice powder and
sugar; stir to breakdown egg and blend. Add chicken and bean curd;
mix thoroughly. Dip cabbage leaves in boiling water to make limp.
Wash and peel carrot; slice thinly on bias.
Steaming: Place limp leaves in shallow bowl. Arrange carrots on
leaves in decorative pattern. Pack chicken/bean curd mixture tightly
in bowl to fill it. Steam for about 40 minutes at medium boil.
Steaming will make mixture very smooth and firm (avoid over-steaming,
which causes bean curd to become dry and hard). When ready to serve,
turn out on serving platter; gently remove leaves; cover with glaze.
Glaze: Heat stock in saucepan; when hot, add cornstarch paste to
thicken. When ready to use, reheat and add sesame oil; pour over dish.
Servings: 4
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.
