Sizzling Rice Soup No2 (Chicken) Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 cup long grain rice
1 cup water
1 whole chicken breast
3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water
1 tbsp soy sauce
6 cup chicken stock
2 cup shredded watercress, or
2 cup lettuce or spinach, shredded
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
1 tsp dark sesame oil (opt)
1 salad oil for deep frying
Recipe Preparation
Preparation: Skin, bone and cut the chicken breast into julienne
strips.
Rice: In a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, combine rice and water
over high heat. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to medium and
cook 10 minutes. Drop heat to low and cook for an additional 30
minutes without removing the lid. The crusty rice around the sides
and bottom will stick to the pan. This will be used in the soup. Take
off the top layer of softer rice and reserve for another use. Lift
out the crusty rice and place on a cookie sheet to dry at room
temperature, or place in a glass baking dish in a microwave oven for
10 minutes on low. If the rice is dried at room temperature, allow
12-24 hours before deep frying.
Soup: Toss the strips of chicken breast with 1 tablespoon of the
cornstarch. Set aside. In a small container, combine remaining 2
tablespoons of cornstarch with water and soy sauce. Heat stock just to
boiling. Stir in soy mixture and chicken. Simmer 5 minutes. Add the
shredded greens, onions and sesame oil, if desired. Keep the soup hot
(but not boiling) while frying rice. Heat oil to 375 degrees in a
deep-fryer or heavy saucepan. Fry rice 3 to 5 minutes until puffed
and lightly browned. Be watchful, because it can burn quickly. Lift
rice out of the fat with a slotted spoon. Drain the rice on paper
towls and place in a heated tureen or individual bowls. Pour in the
soup. Serve at once. Additional fried rice may be passed during the
course.

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 reduced carb diet tips:
* Don't skip meals Most low carb recipes are, errmm.., low in carbohydrates. Your body requires energy, and carbohydrates are a fast acting energy source. A low carb diet requires care and attention in managing your energy intake, as any energy contributed by non-carbohydrate sources is less efficient.
* Replace sugar with a low carb substitute such as splenda. Most recipes that require sugar can be adapted to make use of splenda instead. It is not exactly the same so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it might not be perfect for everything, but it does a decent job once you get the measurements right.

( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)
The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is precious little definitive proof published, allyl sulphides are also believed to help with colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so you should add them to your diet system.
