One of my favourite occupations when I have the time is browsing through cook books and magazines for different recipes and then creating my own recipe. I am also doing my best to come to my ideal weight and have just 2 more kgs to go. So I have changed my cooking method to baking, grilling or stir frying and counting my calories while eating delicious meals every day. The Recipe:
 1/2 kg boneless chicken fillets, cut into small pieces; 1 small head of broccoli cut into finger sized pieces; 2 tsp light soy sauce; 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce; 1 tsp brown sugar; 3 tbsp olive oil; 2 cloves garlic,minced; 1/2 inch piece of ginger, minced; a small bunch of celery leaves (about 1/2 cup); 3 spring onions, cut fine; 1 small onion, sliced fine; 1 tbsp Chinese Rice Wine; salt and pepper to taste.
Marinade chicken overnight in the above ingredients in the refrigerator. Next day bring to room temperature and bake in a preheated oven at 425 F or 220 C for 30 minutes until brown or stir fry in a non stick pan till done (metal skewer inserted into a piece of chicken should come out clean and there should not be red liquid coming out). Serve with crusty bread or wholemeal toasted buns.
To Stir Fry: Heat 1 tsp oil in a non stick pan. Add the broccoli and stir fry on high heat for two minutes only without adding water. Keep in a hot case till required. In the same pan, add 1 tsp oil, add the marinaded chicken and stir fry on high heat till done. Garnish with coriander leaves or spring onions. Serve with the broccoli.
