You possibly will not think it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes chicken and ginger in caramel sauce but it is achievable. It is fundamental to not eat chicken and ginger in caramel sauce or other high calorie poultry every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food once per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet 6 days a week, say 1200 to 1800 calories a day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – without going overboard of course.

I have been eating this way for the last few weeks and it has aided me to lose 5 kilos. I have not increased my exercise routine or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have only been careful of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I want one day a week.

I also feel it is helpful if you have a little support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have lots of tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Chicken and Ginger in Caramel Sauce (G? Kho – Vietnamese)

Source: Los Angeles Times – February 6, 2002

The chicken exudes its juices during cooking, which adds extra savoriness to the sauce. The ginger softens and mellows, blending in with the other ingredients while still retaining its jolting quality. To crush the ginger, place the flat side of a knife blade on each slice and give the blade a firm whack with the palm of your hand. Crushing the ginger releases more of its juices during cooking, thereby mitigating its bite.

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 (2-inch) piece ginger root, peeled, thinly sliced into quarter-size coins
    and crushed
3 tablespoons Caramel Sauce (in this section)
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water
1 green onion, green tops only, chopped
Steamed rice, for serving

Place the chicken, ginger, Caramel Sauce, fish sauce, salt and water into a saucepan. Give a stir to distribute everything. Cover and bring to a strong simmer over medium heat. Stir again to break up the chicken pieces, then replace the lid. Cook for 10 minutes, periodically stirring to evenly expose the chicken to the sauce. The kho will send fragrant steam out from under the lid. The sauce will increase in volume as the chicken releases its juices.

After the 10 minutes are up, remove the lid and continue cooking to reduce the sauce and deepen the color to a rich reddish brown, about 5 minutes. Replace the lid and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust the flavor with extra fish sauce, if necessary. Garnish with the chopped green onion and serve with plenty of rice.
