ONE DISH MEAL...


A one-dish meal that can be adapted would be claypot rice! The death threats it presents to us are covered in the previous post...
Claypot rice consists of steamed rice with oil, steamed chinese sausage, deep fried salted fish, mushrooms and chicken, and mixed with more oil and dark soya sauce to make it even more delicious! Some people enjoy eating the crispy burnt rice at the bottom of the claypot too.

To make it healthier:
1. Use canola or sunflower oil in this dish, as it is lower in saturated fats and trans fats. Also, use less oil.
2. Remove skin from the chicken, for less fats.
3. Use less dark soya sauce, or none at all to flavour the rice, for less sodium. For more flavouring, use natural spices such as ginger.
4. Leave out the deep fried salted fish from the dish, for less sodium. Perhaps ikan bilis might be a good replacement (though I don't know how it'll taste!)
5. Add more mushrooms and vegetables to the dish for more dietary fibre and vitamins.
6. Cook the dish in a rice cooker instead so that the rice at the bottom won't burn. Burnt rice is unhealthy because of carcinogens.
