Recipes: "Fresh Chinese" cleans up recipes for healthier diets

"'Fresh Chinese' is not your neighborhood takeout Chinese cookbook, and the first clue appears quickly.

Don’t use a wok, says author Wynnie Chan. Use a non-stick saute pan.

'I prefer this type of pan to a wok when low-fat cooking because the temperature from an electric stove top or gas ring often isn’t high enough to properly heat the sides of a wok,' she writes when listing the equipment you will need.

And that is just the beginning of Chan’s efforts to break us of our love affair with notoriously unhealthful, but exceedingly flavorful, takeout Chinese food – next to pizza, perhaps the most popular takeout food in the United States. "

Includes recipe:
Kung Pao Chicken

Buy the book, Fresh Chinese from Amazon.com.
