This is a nutritious way to get lots of calcium and phytonutrients into children who are not fond of greens. Chicken mixture: Mix in a bowl and refrigerate before use.

  • 1 large, boned, skinless chicken breast cut into very thin slices (cut while half frozen)
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. corn starch
  • 1 tsp. sesame seed oil
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp. white pepper
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • 2/3 cup straw mushrooms
  • 1/4 tsp. sugar
