Ingredients
1 cup onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp grated gingerroot
1/4 cup dry sherry
1 cup sliced bok choy
1/2 cup broccoli florets, broken into pieces
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup red bell pepper, julienned
1/4 cup defatted chicken stock
1 cup mung bean sprouts
1/2 tsp chinese five-spice powder
1 tbsp low-sodium soy or tamari sauce, or to taste
1 tbsp arrowroot powder
Directions
1. In a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, saute onion, garlic,
and gingerroot in sherry for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add bok choy,
broccoli, mushrooms, bell pepper, and broth. Cover and steam until
vegetables are tender-crisp (about 5 minutes).
2. Add bean sprouts and cook 1 minute. In a small bowl combine five-spice,
soy sauce, and arrowroot. Add to stir-fry and cook until mixture thickens
(about 1 minute). Serve hot.
Note: Chinese five-spice powder, a blend that typically includes fennel
seed, cloves, Szechuan peppercorn, cinnamon, and anise, is available in
Chinese markets.
NOTES : This easy stir-fry recipe gets its rich flavor from sherry, Chinese
five-spice powder, garlic, and gingerroot, and eliminates the fat from
cooking oils. The selection of fresh vegetables can change with the season
and availability of produce. Try marinating a few of the vegetables in the
sherry, garlic, and gingerroot for several hours before adding to the wok.

Weight loss dietsThe Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg fatty meat and cheeses. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carbohydrate/high protein, nutrition system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. With this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the popular atkins diet is that if we eat less carbohydrates, we will use up our fat and we will lose weight The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet created by Dr. arthur agatston, a cardiologist from miami, usa, which encourages that dieters should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston invented this diet as an aid to patients with heart conditions, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific studies completed on other dietary studies. Examples of good foods include, lean cuts of beef, skinless poultry, shrimp, provolone cheese, peanuts, nonfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as chickpeas, collard greens and turnips. |
