Not really.  Blindness is a near epidemic in some asian countries because rice represents almost the entirety of their diet.  Evil corporation Monsanto made up "golden rice" to try and alleviate this but managed to muck it up like they do everything else.

i see your point but that doesnt mean it has no nutrition, it just doesnt provide full nutrition, but to compare it to sugar is wrong.

True, but there is a reason that they have enriched rice.

Nuff said.



The thread inspired me to make up another batch of sushi.  Would have taken a pic but we ate it too fast.  :D

though i believe you would be better getting the calories from the rice than the chicken, i get the impression your diet is working for you so its hard to argue with it :cheers:

To clarify, I was speaking about polished rice.  Obviously brown rice is more nutritive.  But white rice has a bit of iron and some other trace minerals, and that's it.  It's pretty damn empty, especially in comparison to its caloric content.

Pretty popular here, being closer to Asia. Most people use beaten steel woks. As a few have mentioned, they need to be oiled after cleaning or they'll rust too much...

Chinese Duck Stir Fry

Serves 2

Ingredients:

1 Duck breast
1 tbsp Honey
200g egg noodles
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Sesame oil
1 red chilli, finely chopped
1 clove Garlic, finely chopped
3 cm Ginger, cut into thin strips
Handful baby Carrots
Handful sugar snap peas or mangetout
1 red pepper, cut into strips
Handful Spring onions, cut into thin strips
1 tbsp Mirin
1 tbsp Soy sauce
Handful Coriander, leaves and stalks finely chopped

Method:

1. Score the skin of the duck breast and place skin-side down in a cold frying pan. Set over a medium heat and fry gently until the skin has browned. Turn the breast over and drizzle the honey over the skin.

2. When the duck breast has cooked through, take off the heat and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Cut into thin slices.

3. Cook the noodles following the instructions on the packet.

4. Heat the olive oil and sesame oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the chilli, garlic, ginger, carrots, mange tout, peppers and spring onions. Pour over the mirin and soy sauce and stir-fry for a few minutes.

5. Add the noodles and coriander stalks and toss together.

6. Spoon into serving bowls, fan the duck pieces over the top and sprinkle over the coriander leaves.

-----------------------------------------------

We tend to use a duck breast per person and add a little more chilli and/or the seeds. Its not the healthiest of stir fry's but its nice for a treat.
