Chinese New Year…the Year of the Dragon!

January 20, 2012 Leave a Comment

The Chinese New Year takes place on the 23rd January in 2012, and, as well as heralding the start of the Year of the Dragon, the most auspicious animal in the Chinese zodiac, it provides the perfect excuse for an oriental banquet.

 

Knowing that most WLS patients can only look at one course this is my bariatric-friendly recipe for Monday night. A wonderful Chow Mein recipe. This is a tasty noodle dish flavoured, in this instance, with ginger, chilli, garlic and a touch of curry powder. It’s ideal for celebrating this special occasion but will also make a good mid-week meal in the future but is also delicious packed up for lunch (to eat cold or reheat if possible at your place of  work).

 

You can add prawns, diced cooked pork or chicken or beef strips to this dish to boost the protein if you like…it’s your choice!

 

Here’s wishing you well over the next  Chinese New Year!
