Food facts

This recipe is low in potassium and can be enjoyed as part of a low potassium diet, when following the quantities for all the ingredients and the serving sizes.

This recipe is also low in phosphate, however it still contains some phosphate, provided by the chicken and rice, therefore, if you are prescribed a phosphate binder you should take as directed.

This recipe is high in protein, which makes it suitable for those advised to eat more protein. If you have been advised to reduce your protein, then replace the chicken with 350g of tofu.

Use a gluten-free soy sauce such as Tamari and gluten-free oyster sauce.

Replace the chicken with tofu.

There is no added salt in this dish, however it is moderate in salt, which is predominately coming from the reduced-salt soy sauce and the oyster sauce. Therefore, measure the quantities carefully and, if you find the flavour too strong, consider reducing the amount used to lower the salt content. To increase the fibre of this dish consider using a wholegrain brown rice in place of white rice.

This dish is best eaten fresh.
