Dietitian's Tips

     
  1. Poultry such as chicken and turkey contain less fat than most other meats. The skin and visible fat should be trimmed off before cooking the poultry.
  2. Chicken breast has the lowest fat content of all the parts of the chicken. Chicken breast is good for thinly slicing and stir frying over a high flame.
  3. Egg white only contains traces of fat and cholesterol. It also has high quality protein.
  4. Bamboo shoots, peas and dried mushrooms not only improve the texture and colour of this dish, but also provide substantial fibre.
  5. This dish should be made with non-stick pan to reduce the amount of oil for frying the egg whites.
