SINGAPORE - Student Lim Kai Ling initially thought that cooking claypot chicken rice without chicken stock would be a recipe for disaster but giving up was not on the menu.
The cooking competition jointly organised by ITE and the National Kidney Foundation on Oct 14 aimed to whip up tasty dishes suitable for dialysis patients. The recipes were judged on the overall nutritional content for dialysis patients as well as food presentation and flavour. Green leafy vegetables need to be cut into small pieces and soaked for one to two hours to reduce their potassium content. Patients are still encouraged to have low-potassium vegetables such as capsicums and cabbage.
