Lettuce chicken is speciality of Chinese

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor “Cooking Chinese” has been a welcome fashion in this country for a good many years. Now, judging by the supermarkets and specialty food shops carrying ingredients used in Chinese cooking and by the current sales of woks, interest . in this cuisine is on the increase. Stir-frying, one of the Chinese cooking techniques, takes little time once the ingredients for a stir-fry dish are chopped, sliced, diced or minced. Nevertheless we’ve often wished, along with many other cooks, that some of these stir-fry dishes could be prepared ahead and served cold. Recently we tried a recipe, developed by an American cook, that fulfills this wish. You can serve this dish, Lettuce Chicken, as a first course with a before-dinner drink; offered this way at our house it was a great success. However, you can also serve it along with „ one or more hot dishes as part of a main course at a Chinesestyle supper. LETTUCE CHICKEN r , ■ Sauce Mixture, see below 2 whole (each about 1 pound) chicken breasts 3 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons peanut oil 8-ounce can water chestnuts, finely chopped 1 cup finely chopped celery 1 cup finely chopped ~ mushrooms Vz cup finely chopped scallions '' 1 head iceberg lettuce (cored, rinsed, drained and chilled) Roasted diced or slivered I toasted almonds, if desired Have Sauce Mixture ready and at hand. Skin, bone and dice (about V4-inch) the raw chicken breasts; mix with the soy sauce and let stand for 15 minutes. In a 10-inch skillet ‘ heat the oil; add chicken mixture: stir-fry fast, using moderate to high heat, until opaque "and cooked through a few 'minutes. Add water chestnuts, 'celery, mushrooms and scalrt lions; stir-fry fast for a few minutes. Add Sauce Mixture: stirring constantly, cook fast . .until thickened and any excess liquid is reduced; chicken and "vegetables should have only a light coating of the thick sauce to bind them together. Chill. Makes 3Mz to 4 cups. At serving time arrange lettuce, core side down, on a serving dish preferably a ARTHRITIS PERSONALITY? ; ATLANTA (AP) -Is there fan arthritis personality? ? No, say the experts. But if you already have rheumatoid arthritis, your ability to cope with stress can affect how you feel. * “Many patients first notice . their symptoms following a dis'lurbing event such as a death in the family, divorce or some other emotional strain,” says Dr. Frederic C. McDuffie of the Arthritis Foundation. “Stress doesn’t cause the disease, but people often improve when their stress is relieved,” he says. If there are some common personality features in arthritis patients, they result from having a chronic disease. It’s hard to face the constant physical demands of arthritis without some depression or other psychological problems, according to McDuffie.

footed one. Turn chilled chicken mixture into a serving bowl. If used, turn the almonds into a small bowl. Arrange the three containers on a tray. Eaters remove the lettuce leaves, spoon portions of the chicken mixture into the centers of them and fold over or roll up to enjoy in pick-up fashion. If the almonds are served, eaters sprinkle them over the chicken mixture before rolling it in the lettuce leaves. (Instead of serving the head of lettuce whole you may, if you prefer, separate the leaves and arrange them around the edge of a shallow bowl, putting the container of chicken mixture in the center.)

WINDMILL MAKING A COMEBACK

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - The windmill a prime source of electricity in the rural United States during the early 1900 s is making a comeback in the ’Bos, thanks to glass-fiber-rein-forced plastic composites. “Composite wind blades are roughly half the weight of traditional wood and aluminum units,” reports Jack Jenks of Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corp. “The weight savings add significantly to a windmill’s efficiency, since more wind power

with families either in their homes or in live-in settings away from home.

is converted to electricity rather than toward spinning the extra weight of the blades themselves.” Already 45 companies are manufacturing electrical windmills in the United States, Jenks says, in an effort to make wind-energy conversion price competitive for electric power in the mid-1980s a Department of Energy goal. According to some estimates, wind power could supply 20 percent of the world’s energy requirements by the year 2000.
