METHOD

Congratulations to our December Online Prize Recipe winner, Christine Tng of Bedford WA. Christine shares with us her delicious recipe for a Chinese-style roast chicken. Christine won The Complete Book of Modern Asian from ACP Books.



Remove excess fat from chicken. Rinse chicken inside and out; pat dry with absorbent paper.

Combine remaining ingredients in a jug. Place chicken in a shallow non-metallic dish; rub sauce mixture over chicken, including inside the cavity. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Drain chicken from marinade. Place chicken on a wire rack in a baking dish. Add a little water to the dish to stop the mixture burning.

Roast for about 1 hour or until the chicken is just cooked through. Stand, covered with foil, for 15 minutes before carving. Serve sprinkled with sliced green onions, if desired.

Uncooked marinated chicken suitable to freeze. Suitable to microwave.

Strength training for women; the secret to an amazing body at any ageStrength training does not make you 'big'. To get big muscles you need to train a lot, very hard and with very heavy weights and you also need testosterone. This is hard enough for men and extremely difficult for women... Overcoming the weight loss plateauHere’s something you won’t read about all that often: weight loss is not a linear process. In other words, you’re unlikely to lose a predictable 1 or 2 kilograms per week until you get down to where you want to be.
