   Guoqing's dish has too much fat. You will soon get fed up.
   Let me offer you one simple , delicious, nutrious and healthy food.

  Steamed fresh fish
       Buy a whole black or red 'Lee' fish. It must be LIVE and FRESH. It must
       be black or red 'Lee' fish. You must buy them in Chinese market.
       It cost about $3.50 /bl. One typical fish is usually a little bit
       more than one pound. 
       * clean it
       * steam it 10 minutes
       * While you steam the fish you have to prepare a small amount of soup.
         Here is how to prepare the soup
          * add 'ShaoXing' wine, 'ZhenJiang' vinegar, salt, sugar and 
            tiny soy source into a bowl.
          * prepare 'Chong' and garlic
          * heating the frying pot until very hot
          * add small amount of oil, wait until hot, fry the 'Chong'
          * add the soup into the pot, mix it well until boiling
          * add garlic into the soup, TURN OFF the fire at immediately.
          * pour the soup into the dish that holding the fish. You
            should be able to hear the sound of 'zi zi'
       * don't forget to eat it!

 It takes 20 minutes or so to cook. 

  I have been eating this type of fish almost every week for the past
 3 years. I am now working 12 hours a day, seven days a week without
 any trouble. I feel much smarter than before. A joke.
