Potato Crepes With Scallops Salmon & Asparagus 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
Dieting made easyOne useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The case against reduced carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Moreover, it has been proposed that the kidneys may be given too much work to do and that the related change in acid levels in the blood causes bone damage, but some of the medical studies trying to test the hypothesis have struggled to find significant evidence of damage to the kidneys or bone damage.
Reducing carbs could mean missing out on required nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which must be part of any sensible diet, especially those provied by vegetables, grains and fruits.
Foods rich in lycopene
(includes guava, red bell peppers & tomato puree)
The phytochemical lycopene is a non-synthetic coloring agent and one of the phytochemical group known as 'carotenids'. It is the reason for the red hue of many food types.
Intrestingly, unlike numerous healthy agents, this useful phytochemical is not damaged if it is cooked, rather it is actually improved by being heated.
. Lycoprene's most interesting advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and seems to be of use in the battle to lower the risk of cancer.
Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought by many experts to block the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
