In Secrets of Fat-Free Chinese Cooking, author and accomplished chef Ying Chang Compestine has recreated a medley of classic Chinese regional dishes - as well as a variety of popular contemporary creations - using little or no fat and a minimal amount of sodium. Best of all, she has done this without compromising the savory flavors, elegant presentations, and tantalizing aromas that make Chinese cuisine an overwhelming favorite.

The author then presents a glossary of ingredients and a variety of cooking methods that will help you minimize the fat without giving up the fabulous flavors of Chinese cuisine.
