Potato Crepes With Scallops Salmon & Asparagu Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1/2 lb fresh asparagus
1 tbsp dry white wine
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 egg white
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/4 lb scallops
1/4 lb salmon filet
1 potato crepes (see recipe)
1 1/2 cup peanut oil
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
1 tbsp minced green onion
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp rice vinegar
1/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 teaspoon, water
Recipe Preparation
Starting at the tip end, cut the asparagus into 1 1/2-inch lengths
with a diagonal rolling cut: slice off the tip at an angle, roll the
asparagus about a quarter turn and cut again, and repeat on down the
stalk until you reach the tougher base. Discard the bases. Dissolve
the cornstarch in the wine in a medium bowl; add the egg white and
pepper and beat lightly. Remove the tough white muscle from the edge
of each scallop and cut the scallops into 1/4-inch-thick discs.
Remove any pin bones from the salmon and slice across the width of
the slice (parallel to the backbone) into 1/4-inch-thick rectangles.
Add the salmon and scallops to the egg mixture and toss gently to
coat. Preheat the oven to 175F and set 2 dinner plates in it to warm.
Prepare the Potato Crepes and place 1 on each plate. Keep warm in the
oven. Have a clean, dry, heatproof container, such as a saucepan, on
the stove with a heat proof sieve on top. Drain the scallops and
salmon and discard the marinade. Heat a wok or deep skillet over high
heat. When it begins to smoke, add the oil. Wait 30 seconds, then add
the seafood (the oil will not be very hot yet; this is intentional).
Cook, stirring gently to separate the pieces, until salmon has lost
its raw color. Pour the contents of the wok into the sieve. Return
the wok to the heat, and in the bit of oil clinging to the pan,
stir-fry the ginger and green onion until fragrant. Add the pepper
and asparagus and stir-fry until it begins to brown. Add the chicken
stock, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar. Cover, and cook until the
asparagus is crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes depending on size. Remove
the cover, return the seafood to the wok, and stir in the cornstarch
mixture. Cook until the sauce is slightly thickened. Taste for
seasoning and adjust if necessary, then divide the seafood, asparagus
and sauce over the potato crepes. Serve immediately Serves 2. From
the San Francisco Chronicle, 2/13/91. Note that the potato pancakes
require the potatoes to be cooked and cooled ahead of time, which can
be done earlier in the day or the night before. Posted by Stephen

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weightRather than thinking about which food types you really should leave out of your meal plan, focus on the nutritionally sound foods that you are able to introduce to your meal plan. If you manage to inject some nourishing grains and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y decreased risk of giving in to those damaging midday snacks.
Some low carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* You can create really nice smoothies with reduced carbohydrate yogurt. Admittedly, you can't really describe it as cooking, but if you are missing your smoothies you can throw them together with reduced carb yogurt and fruit. Obviously, you will need to make sure you use only fruit that is low in carbs and use the whole fruit as the fiber is important too.
* Make low carb bread crumbs for deep fried foods. Whilst you can sometimes buy low carb breadcrumbs, you can make them at home by using reduced carbohydrate bread. Simply toast the reduced carb bread in your oven on a sheet of baking paper. Once it is quite hard and crispy, process it in the food processor or blender. To store, keep in an airtight jar or container.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes eschalot, chives and green onion)
The onion family of vegetables is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is very little scientific evidence at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by many researchers to reduce the symptoms of colds, sterilization and diabetes.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so you should add them to your weight loss regime.
