Yummy, healthy yuk sung

Looks good, doesn't it?

I absolutely love yuk sung from my local chinese in all its sticky, greasy glory. Blame the boyfriend, he started it. Unfortunately MSG laden chinese is off the menu if I ever want to see my abs again so I threw together this sneaky treat for one of my meals today. It definitely killed the craving, whilst bringing protein, veggies and super-healthy fats to the table. These are basically the chinese equivalent of a wrap, perfect for lunch or a snack. You could even serve them with rice if you're feeling the need for something stodgy.

 I switched up cooking oil for a helping of avocado but you could just fry the chicken in a little coconut oil for the same effect. The bit I'm perversely proud of is the celery. Never fear, it doesn't really taste like celery, it just gives a crunchy texture without the cals, so you don't miss the delicious crispy fried noodles or water chestnuts in a normal chinese... or not much anyway....

Serves one as a light meal 

1 chicken breast
1 celery stick
4 or 5 big lettuce leaves (I used roundhead lettuce) for wrapping
1 garlic clove, chopped up nice and small
1/4 sachet of Blue Dragon hoi sin stir fry sauce (or a dash of oyster sauce)
A splash of soy sauce
A sprinkling of dried chilli (optional)
1/4 or 'thumb sized' chunk of avocado (optional)

First chop your chicken finely into little cubes, then the celery. Cube and reserve avocado if using.
Heat your pan on a medium-hot setting with a couple of tbsp of water in it (or your oil if using)
Add chicken, celery, garlic and soy sauce for four or so mins, until chicken is cooked through
Add hoi sin, stir through until hot.

Now pop your mixture into a bowl, mix through your avocado and the cooking bit's done. Dollop your mixture onto a lettuce leaf, roll wrap-style and chow down.
