Recipe
Ingredients
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp chicken stock

Recipe
Preparation
Gai lan is Chinese broccoli. It's not much like the Western stuff.
It has thinner stems, flowers and leaves and is eaten more as a green.
Combine the oyster sauce, chicken stock, Shao Hsing wine, sugar and
sesame oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce
thickens. Set aside.
Wash the gai lan in cold water. Trim off and discard the tough
bottoms. Peel stalks if they are thick and tough; leave gai lan whole
or cut into thirds.
Bring 3 to 4 quarts of water to a boil in a wok or stock pot; add the
salt and oil. Add the greens, bring back to a second boil. Turn off
the heat and let greens stand for a minute or two. When the green
stalks brighten, test one for doneness. It should be tender and
crisp. Drain immediately and shake off excess water.
Transfer to a platter, pour dressing over, and serve immediately.
Serves 4 to 6.

Food Tips of the Week
Losing weight
Rather 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 reduced carb diet tips:
* Use low carbohydrate chocolate bars for cookies and muffins.
If you have gone to the trouble of converting your most popular chocolate cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, it would be insane to put in those high carbohydrate chocolate chips. Break up a reduced carbohydrate bar of chocolate into little pieces and use that instead.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes parsley, collard greens and tomato puree)
These vegetables and fruits contain the carotenoids believed by many play a key role in helping stop cancer, particularly those cancers involving the esophagus and stomach. Most are also low in calories, so you should add them to your weight loss program.
