One-Dish Meal

Hello!


i have been re-looking at my diet for the 3-days that i have recorded. Don't know if it is due to the fact that it was a holiday, what i eat at home is much healthier than what i eat normally in school or outside. Hoever, one of the most unhealthy one would be : INSTANT NOODLES!




here is a alternative for instant noodles whoch is loaded with MSG and stuff that are not natural.. so the recipe for a healthier one-dish meal i have learnt in school is:




Ingredients list:


1. 1 cup macaroni


2. 1 dsp oil


3. 1/2 large onion, diced


4. 1 chicken drumstick - meat removed and diced


5. 1/4 carrot, skin removed and diced


6. 1 potato, peeled and diced


7. 1 stick celery, cut into pieces


8. 1 dried mashroom, soaked and diced


9. 500ml water


10. 1 chicken cube


11. i sprig coriander for garnishing




Methods:

1. Boil the macaroni until soft. dish in a bowl. Heat oil in a saucepan and fry onions until fragrant.


2. Add the chicken and fry.


3. Add the carrot, potato, mushroom, water and cicken cube.


4. When the carrots and potato are tender, add the celery.


5. Simmer until the vegetables are cooked.


6. Pour into the bowl of mcaroni and garnish woth coriander leaves.



Done! a healthier one-dish meal is complete! easy to prepare and cook, this alternative is tasty and healthy! it is has all the nutrients we need in a meal-- carbohydrates from the macaroni, vitamins and fibre from the vegetables, and aslo proteins from the chicken! Whereas the instant noodles, though bringing us much convenience, has nothing but carbohydrates and fats from the noodles itself, which has been deep fried first to speed up cooking time (try eating the instant noodles raw, it's just like maggie mee without the seasoning! ).
