Healthy eating is now much more popular than it used to be and rightfully so. Poor diet is a contributing factor in health conditions such as heart disease and hypertension which can place a drain on the economy. There are more and more campaigns to try to get people to lead a healthier way of living and yet it is also easier than ever to rely on fast, convenient food that is very bad for our health. A lot of people typically think that healthy diets require much work and will significantly alter how they live and eat. Contrary to that information, people can alter their eating habits for the better by carrying out a few small changes.

It’s not a bad idea if you wish to make big changes, but the most vital thing is to gradually switch to making healthier eating selections. Sooner or later, you will likely find that you will eat more and more healthy food as your taste buds get accustomed to the change.

Instructions to make 'Ponzu' Marinated Eggplant & Chicken:
  1. Place Ponzu (Soy Sauce & Vinegar), Mirin and Ginger (and Sugar if you like) in a bowl and mix well to make the sauce.
  2. Cut off the green bit of Eggplants and cut in half or quarter lengthways, then make many shallow cuts on the skin, scoring it. Then cut into smaller pieces.
  3. Heat Oil in a frying pan over medium heat, cook Eggplants on the skin side down for a few minutes. Then cook other sides as well until they are slightly coloured.
  4. Add Green Sweet Chilli, cover with the lid and cook until all eggplant pieces are soft. Adding 1-2 tablespoons Water would help steam-cook the vegetables.
  5. Transfer the cooked vegetables into a deep dish or bowl, pour over the ponzu sauce and set aside.
  6. Cut Chicken Tenderloins or Breast Fillets into 3 to 4cm size, lightly season with Salt & Pepper, then coat with Potato Starch Flour. This layer of flour will turn to jelly-like when combined with sauce.
  7. Heat Oil in a frying pan and cook Chicken. Tenderloins won’t take long to cook. You don’t need to brown the Chicken.
  8. Place marinated vegetables in a serving bowl, place chicken on top, then pour over the marinade. Sprinkle chopped Spring Onion over and serve.

Mix well until sugar is dissolved. Chill and marinate eggplants for overnight. Put the eggplant in a bowl and add garlic, red pepper, salt, oregano, vinegar and olive oil.
