    Low Fat Baked General Tso Chicken


    2 -3 pounds boneless chicken thighs or breasts, cut in strips
    1 egg + 2 tbsp water whisked together to make an egg wash

    Combine

    1 cup flour
    ½ tsp black pepper
    ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
    3 tbsp ground ginger
    2 tsp salt

    Dip the chicken pieces in the egg wash then dredge them in the flour mixture. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and lightly drizzle or the tops with a little more olive oil. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 25-3o minutes. Flip the pieces at half way through the cooking time.

    While the chicken is baking, prepare your sauce. Don’t walk away from this sauce; it gets very hot when making the caramel base and can burn easily so pay careful attention while cooking it.

    In a small bowl, mix together

    4 tbsp soya sauce
    4 tbsp rice wine vinegar (white wine vinegar is fine in a pinch)
    ¼ cup water
    1 tbsp toasted sesame seed oil
    1 tbsp hot chilli paste or sauce (use more or less to taste if you don’t like it very hot)
    ½ tsp salt
    2 tsp corn starch
    3 cloves minced garlic
    3 tbsp freshly grated ginger

    Set this mixture aside

    In a medium saucepan boil together

    1 cup sugar
    ¼ cup water

    Boil this over medium heat, watching constantly until the caramel starts to turn a light amber color and you can begin to smell the caramel. When it reaches this stage, give the other ingredients in the bowl a quick stir to make sure the corn starch is dissolved then add it all at once to the hot caramel.

    Be careful at this stage because this sauce can foam up considerably for a few seconds and it is very hot. Simmer for only few minutes and remove from the heat and allow to cool down slightly.

    Toss the sauce with the cooked chicken pieces and serve over plain steamed rice.

    Here is one I know of the top of my head. My kids love it. Orange chicken you just take some cubed chicken breast and boil it in orange juice. Drain when cooked though. Add a splash of soy sause and 2 TBSP of sugar free orange marmlade. Stir, I sometimes use more depending on how much meat I have. I serve it with rice or noodles. Green beans sautaed in garlic taste great as a side. It's a favorite. :)

    I suggestg going to myRecipes.com, they have a great Spicy Shrimp Soup that is out of this world and very low in calories. I lost 16 pounds since 2/4/13.

    These are incredible recipes!! Thanks everyone. This isn't Chinese - it's Korean Bibimbap - it's easy to make and pretty tasty. Sadly it's about 560 calories per serving but you can substitute tofu for the beef.

    pork lettuce wraps

    Lightly brown lean ground pork in a non-stick pan with a little oil, add julienne carrots, red peppers, onions and water chestnuts. Cook until veggies are tender, throw in some terriyaki and soy sauces and serve on bibb lettuce leaves. Fast and delicious.
