CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's So Low Mein w/Chicken
Lean & Mein
Everyone loves lo mein. How can you not? It's basically Asian "spaghetti"
packed with all kinds of deliciousness. But who on Earth wants to deal with
the horrendous calorie and fat counts of regular old lo mein? CRAZY PEOPLE,
that's who. Don't be crazy -- or LAZY. Head to the kitchen and whip up some
of HG's So Low Mein w/Chicken. BTW, this recipe also rocks with
soy "chicken" strips, lean beef, pork tenderloin, shrimp, and tofu. Wok on,
people!
Ingredients:
3 bags House Foods Tofu Shirataki, original spaghetti shape
One 10 - 16 oz. bag frozen Chinese-style stir-fry mixed veggies (with
broccoli, water chestnuts, etc.)
8 oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast; cut into strips
1 cup bean sprouts
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup thinly sliced zucchini
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup shredded carrots
1/4 cup reduced sodium or light soy sauce
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 tsp. chicken-flavored powdered consommé/bouillon (like the one by Osem,
which can be found with the kosher items at the supermarket)
2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda)
Directions:
Rinse and drain Tofu Shirataki noodles VERY well. Dry them thoroughly, and
run a knife or kitchen shears through 'em a few times (so noodles aren't as
long). Set aside. To make sauce, combine soy sauce, cornstarch,
consommé/bouillon, and sweetener with 1/2 cup of hot water. Stir well and
set aside. Bring a large pan or a wok sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-
high heat. Add chicken and all the veggies (the frozen and the fresh ones).
Stirring frequently, cook for 5 - 7 minutes (until chicken is cooked throughout
and frozen veggies are heated). Pour sauce into pan/wok, stir well, and
continue to cook until sauce has thickened. Lastly, add in the noodles, and
cook until entire dish is thoroughly mixed and heated. MAKES 4 SERVINGS

FIGHT IT!
Chicken Lo Mein, Average Restaurant
Lo Mein for Losers
Let's get one thing straight. There's nothing "low" about traditional lo mein.
The dish consists of Asian noodles (made from wheat flour), veggies, and
some type of meat item, and it's stir-fried. In oil. Lots and lots of it. Get an
order of Lo Mein Chicken for dinner at P.F. Chang's, and that freakish,
oversized plate of Chinese spaghetti will clock in at 1,610 calories and 66
grams of fat (POINTS® value 37*). AHHHHHHHHHH! And your typical
Chinese takeout place will likely serve up close to 1,200 calories and FIFTY
grams of fat in each large container of the stuff! So, as inviting, enticing, and
downright tempting as this noodley veggie & chicken packed stuff is, ordering
it from a restaurant is definitely not a good idea. Instead, stock up on some
Tofu Shirataki, and toss up a batch of HG's version. You'll FREAK when you
taste how fantastic it is.
