♥Char Kway Teow♥
Char Kway Teow?Looks like it needs a total MAKEOVER.
We are going to make a soupy Char kway Teow to replace the fried noodles which is not healthy for you at ALL. so we are going to tell you how we change it. 


INGREDIENTS:

500g kway teow (flat rice noodles)
150g fresh prawns, shelled
100g chicken breast meat, cut into smalpieces (discard skin and fat)
500g beansprouts, tai removed
2 fresh chilies, minced
6 cloves garlic, minced
250g cockles (optional)
1 tbsp thin soya sauce´
1 tbsp thick soya sauce
3 tbsp cooking oil
salt and pepper to taste

 ♥METHOD:

1. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry minced garlic and chili until fragrant.
2. Increase heat and add chicken. Fry for two minutes.
3. Add prawns and cockles (optional) and stir-fry for two minutes. Add the kway teow.
4. Add both types of soya sauce, salt and beansprouts. Mix well and stir-fry another two minutes.
5. Serve immediately. Garnish with sliced chili and sliced lime.

Dietitian´s Comments: Char kway teow usually contains cockles, egg and lard which is high in cholesterol and saturated fat. You can create a healthier version by replacing lard with vegetable oil. More vegetables such as beansprouts can be added to increase the fibre content. Instead of using the whole egg, use only the white

•Chicken:
•1 whole chicken, about 3 pounds
•1 teaspoon salt
•2 cloves garlic, peeled
•4 slices fresh ginger, peeled
•4 scallions, trimmed
•about 12 cups water
•2 tablespoons sesame oil

2.Bring the water to a boil in a pot large enough to hold the chicken. Add the chicken, breast-side down. Simmer, covered, 30-40 minutes, turning chicken halfway through the cooking process, until chicken tests done (juices from thigh should run clear when pricked with a fork).


3.Carefully remove chicken, draining liquid from body cavity back into the pot. Reserve the stock to make chicken rice. Plunge the chicken into ice water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and tighten the skin. Drain, rub with sesame oil, and let cool to room temperature.


4.To serve, chop chicken into bite-size pieces (the Chinese do this bone and all) and arrange on a platter. Garnish with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and cilantro sprigs.


5.To make the chicken rice, wash the rice and drain in a colander. Let stand 1/2 hour to dry.


6.Heat oil in a wok. Add the shallots and garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant. Add rice grains and stir-fry 3-4 minutes, until glossy and fragrant.


7.Transfer to a saucepan. Add the chicken broth and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil until the liquid level evaporates to the level of the rice and steam holes appear. Turn heat to low. Cover and simmer 40 minutes. Serve with Hainanese chicken
