You might not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet which includes Mu Yang Takrai but it is achievable. It is crucial to not eat Mu Yang Takrai or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself high calorie food once per week. I eat a low calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories a day, and then one day, I eat whatever I like – within moderation of course.

I have been using this method for the last month and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise routine or taken any vitamins or diet aids. I have only been aware of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I like one day per week.

On my one day off per week, I tend to eat Thai food. I never thought I could lose 5 kilos while eating Thai meals but am very pleased to see it can happen. If you want to try some Thai food, I propose you make Mu Yang Takrai which is one of my favourite Thai recipes.

Mu Yang Takrai (BBQ Pork with Lemon Grass ? Thai)

Posted by WingsFan91 at recipegoldmine.com 11/15/2001 4:54 pm

As part of my series of recipes for the short short summer in temperate latitudes, here is yet another Thai barbecue recipe.

This is essentially a hawker food: meat (usually pork) is threaded on skewers or satay sticks and cooked over a charcoal brazzier, and then served along with a dipping sauce in a small plastic bag.

It makes an easy recipe for a summer afternoon’s barbecue.

Alternatively you can make it with pork chops or even with spareribs or chicken pieces…it even makes a barbecue sauce for hamburgers and hot dogs.

1 pound pork, cut into bite size pieces

Marinade
10 tablespoons palm sugar
10 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce)
10 tablespoons dark soy sauce
10 tablespoons takrai (lemon grass), sliced very thinly
5 tablespoons whiskey
5 tablespoons hom daeng (shallots), sliced very thinly
5 tablespoons kratiem (garlic), minced
5 tablespoons coconut milk
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon prikthai (black pepper), freshly ground

Mix the marinade ingredients, except the coconut milk and in a saucepan or wok, simmer until reduced to about half the original volume. Allow to cool, and add the coconut milk, stirring until combined.

Marinade the meat for 1 to 3 hours in a cool place, then drain well, and thread onto skewers.

Barbeque the meat until cooked.

Heat the marinade until simmering, stirring for 1-2 minutes (to cook any blood that has dripped from the marinating meat, and hence sterilize it), and serve as a dipping sauce for the meat.

You can vary the recipe to make it a little bit healthier or with fewer calories as this can help you to lose 5 kilos rapidly. It was successful for me and could aid you to lose weight also.
