Recipe Ingredients
1 gaye levy ** dtxt63a
MIX AND SET ASIDE
2 tsp cornstarch
1 cup chicken broth
CHICKEN MIXTURE
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 lb chicken breast, skinned
VEGETABLE INGREDIENTS
4 oil, tbl - approx.
2 celery stalk, thinly sliced
1/2 lb green beans, 1/2 slices
2 carrot, 1/4 slices
1 onion, small, 1/4 slices
2 garlic clove, minced/pressed
4 tbsp water
2/3 cup cashews, roasted
Recipe Preparation
Mix the cornstarch with chicken broth and set aside.
Cut skinned and boned chicken into matchstick-size pieces. Combine the
ingredients for the "chicken mixture" ( cornstarch, soy, and
chicken). Mix well to coat chicken thoroughly; set aside.
Place wok in high heat. When wok is hot, add 2 TBL of the oil. When
oil is hot, add chicken mixture. Stir fry until chicken is opaque
(about 3 minutes). Remove chicken from the wok and set aside.
Add remaining 2 TBL oil to the wok. When oil is hot, add celery,
beans, carrot, and garlic. Stir fry 1 minute. Add water. Cover and
cook for 3 minutes or until veggies are just tender-crisp.
Return chicken and chicken broth mixture to pan. Stir until liquid
boils and thickens (about 1 minute). Stir in most of the cashews.
Garnish with the remaining cashews.
This recipe is from Sunset "WOK Cook Book" and is a delightful stir
fry.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightDrink more water. At times during a hectic day, you guess you are peckish but in truth you might only want a restorative glass of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of needing food and needing a drink are close, but one can result in a fat tummy and the alternative is ok.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda. Most recipes that require sugar can be changed to make use of a sugar substitute like splenda. It doesn't weigh the same so you will have to expirement with it and it might not be perfect in every case, but it gives very good results once you have it cracked.
* Use low carb chocolate bars for chocolate muffins. Once you have converted your most popular chocolate chip cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, you really don't want to add in those high carb standard chocolate. Chop up a low carbohydrate choccie bar into little pieces and use that in its place.
Cruciferous vegetables, Superfoods that help with Dieting
(includes Broccoli, Celery, Collard greens and Rutabaga)
These cruciferous vegetables are jam-packed with vitamins (folate and vitamin c, for example), minerals (eg. potassium), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents.
Over and above their most other great health properties, the vitamins and nutrients in these are believed by scientists to reduce the risk of cancer.
