this morning was my weigh in day. i stepped up on the scale and then yay!!! i shed another few kilos, in fact more than expected. so again yay! so so happy...
moving on... as today is first day of Ramadhan, a while ago, i broke my fast with chicken veggie mee hoon soup.
boil broccoli, cauliflower, carrot and bok choy for a while until just tender. soak mee hoon in hot water, drain and set aside. for the soup, add water to a pot and let it boil. then add chicken breast, crushed garlic and ginger (put as much as you want), cinnamon quill, cardamon seeds, cloves, less than or half cube chicken stock and white pepper to taste.
the soup is purposely prepared like that as i'm trying to make a healthy chicken soup without oil, salt and msg. i know it probably won't taste as nice as the usual tasty chicken soup, but hey it wasn't bad at all 2 hours ago. so siapa2 on diet atu jua, you can try this one lah jua...
almost forgot, for the mee hoon. i managed to find 99% fat free mee hoon. and it only has 10mg per 100g sodium. i compared this with other brands and to my surprise, mee hoon is actually high in sodium. needless to say more. luckily i could find that one. oh yea, and... it's gluten free also. not that i can't have gluten in my diet. i just feel like to mention it here for completion. hehe. so next time, health-conscious people, go for trident rice vermicelli!
on a side note, for those who haven't known this fact yet, when you are comparing NIP from one brand to another, you must actually look at the second column (i.e. per 100g) and not the first column (i.e. per serve). so there you go... hope this helps in controlling what brand item you would go for in the future....inda payah rasa, cium bau saja... - "master chef" BB
