Mediterranean Diet - How to Make Chicken Stir Fry with Doctor Mike Hansen 

I really like more episodes like this showing how to make healthy meals especially Mediterranean dishes like tabbouli and mujaddara (lentils and bulgur or rice). Thank you Dr. Hanson and you look a lot better.

She lost me when she said you can use canola oil. It is one of the worst inflammatories. I wish our health care professionals would get some education

I have a pointer for when you cut things. Bend your fingertips inward so the side of the knife slides along your knuckles.

I rinse my lentils but I never soak them, and have never had an issue cooking them 😍

Thank you Dr. Hansen. Chinese stir fry vegetables usually use garlic or ginger, and little salt, it is rare to add soy sauce to stir fry vegetables but soybean paste...!

Nice demo. I have in the past prepped a stir fry sauce and froze it in ice cube trays to have on hand just to help with week night meals.

Canola oil? Has the dietician ever had her omega6:3 ratio measured - mine is 4.4 and I've not eaten even rapeseed oil for about 3 years or more. I use olive, avocado, coconut and butter/ghee with toasted sesame as an occasional 'flavouring' only. And what is the irrational fear of saturated fats - surely the SAD recommendations and it's failure and the re-examination of the evidence shows that saturated fat is not a proble.

Thank u for this series sibce i m from algeria, north africa this is not far from. My culture i m doctor as well

Great video! Good idea. Love it. Some fact points which she had wrong.. Canola oil is refined, highly processed, not healthy. Full of omega 6 oxydative fat chains which is flamatory. Use the extra virgin olive oil. It still has 9% omega 6 and should not be heated too high because that will oxydate. Honey 50% fructose, just a little. Why promote sugar? Spinach is Amaranthaceae and not from the same familie as bok choy (Cruciferous=very healthy) and has the highest level of oxalate of any. Less is better. :)

The North American Olive Oil Association has a lengthy article on trans fat. They cite many studies. Apparently olive oil is very stable & does not convert to trans-fat even at high temperatures past the smoke point. Avocado oil is very expensive. It is great to cook in a wok. They heat evenly & use little oil.

Her cutlery skills leave a lot to be desired :-)

This was wonderful. Please keep doing videos like this so I can begin cooking this way. I just created a new folder “Cooking with Dr. Hansen”, no pressure, but there is only one video in it so far……

Hi from the Mediterranean! FYI, this isn't Mediterranean food! The vegetables used are not all in season at the same time, and we don't have soy sauce or use honey or any type of sweetener like this in savoury food or sauces.

Its nice to see you work in the kitchen for the first time. This is something new. I really enjoyed watching this episode. Thanks for the new health tips and the recipe that you shared here 😊

I grew up with a Greek dad who ate a pretty traditional Mediterranean diet, and don't recall soy sauce ever being a typical ingredient. That being said, this looks tasty and i'd def eat it with no complaints :) I've also read and heard people say to stay away from canola oil because it can cause or make inflammation worse. I was surprised to see it mentioned here.

Stir fry with smaller batches… cooks quicker and actually fries the food (instead of steaming/boiling)

Very interesting Dr Mike and Rachel, so far I use all ingredients, love garlic, use olive oil always,soy sauce also, love honey 🍯 not too much, lemon, ginger love tremendously, healthy, I completely appreciate this segment, ..kale and spinach, folic acid , for fast absorption, for low iron.. stir fry a good way to incorporate most of healthy regiment ❤️❤️💯

Great idea . I want to eat more Mediterranean.

I follow this diet to reduce inflammation and it is so flavorful. Thank you!

I really like this video.. I’m interested in knowing more about combining foods and/or plants and herbs together, learning how the micronutrients affects the body in relation to specific health goals such as reducing inflammation, supporting a healthy nervous systems to reduce pain, foods for treating specific disorders or diseases. After highlighting a health issue, perhaps you could back it up at the end of the video with a complimenting healthy helpful meal!!

Dr. Bragg's aminos is very low sodium soy sauce sub I enjoy. Great video. Nice change up. (many variations on onion chop . Latest one (and safest) is same till instead of cutting in halves into quarters then both cross cuts can be vertical (no dangerous horizontal slice ) then dice cut finish )

Canola oil?

The recipe is close to what we do, except no onions or meat, and we use some tofu. You can make this pretty fast and tastes great. Thanks for making this episode and hope you do more. People are taking too many drugs to compensate for poor nutrition. Which is a shame since in a few minutes and for very low costs you can make a great dish this.

Have you read Why Some Like it Hot by David Paul Nabham. The optimal diet for a person is a combination genetics, environment, and culture. People of Mediterranean descent do wonderfully on that diet. Others, not as much. Dr Nabham is a ethnobotanist and studied the diets of native Americans south of Tucson (Pima, Papago, Apache, etc). there is no way people in that area could eat said Mediterranean diet before modern supply chains. And if you are Heinz 57 like I am, figuring out what works best is a little more complex than to eat like someone from a specific region. It's not a bad diet, but it isn't the wonderful magical diet that will cure all your ills. And, Food is Not Medicine by Dr Joshua Wolrich is another good reference.

Great video, love all the fresh veggies and chicken. Looks really delicious! 👍

I have high cholesterol, obesity, and fatty liver disease so the Mediterranean diet is a great option for me to try. My weakness is those processed foods, salts and sugars. I'm definitely researching this diet as it's a very reasonable, obviously healthy alternative. The Mediterranean diet really does rely on you cooking your own meals and for me it's a matter of laziness and lack of motivation I would have to get over with to curve my own eating habits which are honestly atrocious right now. This was a very informative video not just for a good recipe but very educational on the foods you're adding and why you're adding them.

Isn’t frying with olive oil toxic? Add it in after frying with a coconut or avocado oil that can take the high heat.

Dr hansen you can cook you squeezed a lemon and sliced some stuff ....chef hansen forget ramsi

Perhaps the most wholesome content I've seen so far, not only fun, tasty, but definitely healthier eating! Thanks for this man, I am gonna try it out. Btw, any tips on healthy weight gain? I'm pretty slim, anything helps lol

I really enjoyed this video Dr. Mike. I love stir fry. I think I prefer teriyaki sauce over soy sauce though.

That was interesting, I would definitely give this a try.

Couple things: your extreme wide angle makes your bodies look obese. Not a good look; stir fry is done quickly at high heat and you’re cooking slow. Spend a minute in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant; you’re using way too many ingredients to preserve each one’s unique flavor; a dietician is not a nutritionist; loose long hair is a no-no in a kitchen, tie it back or wear hair nets; fiber is the last concern and just comes along when eating fresh. And what’s with the constant poking of the food? I will not come back for this and think Yeung Man Cooking offers better kitchen and cooking skills and advice. My advice, Dr. Mike: stick to what you know. I’ve been following since the pandemic hit and thank you for sharing what you learned in your profession. What I just witnessed I’d call campus cooking.

Nice. Thank you. I have a wok that rarely gets used.

Great idea! Food looks so yummy!!

Congratulation🎉Doctor Mike for your new recipe video. Awesome!!👏🏼☺️🙏🏼

Congrats on 1M, Doctor Mike🥳🎈🎉🎊

I like being on the diet and this helps not the ones that b just talking like professionals need education and that's what keep them learning

Looks delicious! Thanks!

That looks so good, i've learned alot as usual from your videos, thank you!

I wouldn't call myself a "professional chef", but I cook enough and try to learn enough about it to be scared to death watching you cut that onion... lol. In all seriousness, I REALLY like these videos... thank you!

It looked great until you added the lentils. Icky. LOL! Although, I don't remember ever soaking lentils before.

Fantastic tutorial!

I'm going to make this, thank you!

No salt and pepper, no seasoning, 🤔

Another idea for similar videos would be power bowl

She didn't add any peeled Broccoli stock. There's nutritional components in it that surpass the crowns

Love stir fry! It's one of the things I eat that stays fairly cheap, even with buying the protein. :) Much love

Great,thank you. Mike cutting an onion, grateful he's not a surgeon.😉

Link to Rachel tube pls

Yeah, it's one of my favorite dishes. 😆

I love it!

Don't give up on the Mediterranean diet, and that doctor who says legumes and plant foods are bad for us is wrong. How do we explain the longevity and excellent health of people that live on these foods? Loma Linda, CA for example. Very large population of Seven Day Adventists who are vegetarian.

If you (Dr. Hansen) know nothing about cooking, How have you been eating all your life?

Mike♥️Rachel

Hey Mike dr Mike... Being a Mediterranean cook as well as an olive oil producer I can say that much. This is NOT Mediterranean cooking. This is NOT even close to being a decent olive oil. And the whole show is just for clicks. Pls call it whatever you like but not Mediterranean. I know is a catch word that sells like democracy, freedom, etc. Please go back to being a doctor that I was learning so much from and give "Mediterranean cooking" a long respectful rest . Ty

I lost it at “Mediterranean diet” followed by “stir fry”

Thank God I can use good olive oil and some healthy protein that I like. I think dairy is a killer, but it should be here for people that want it and can tolerate it.

Gosh where is the recipe??

A lot of people can't afford whole foods and food boxes are 100% processed foods. Then what? Over 50% of children are below the poverty line.

👍🤘😋yum yum!!

It won’t help if your ingredients and water devoid of micro elements

Helh meals for body that good

❤️💖❤️🙏💖❤️💖

I totally disagree with you lady. Coconut oil is also good.

You don't soak lentils at all! They are soft enough without it. !

❤❤❤

Sorry I had to shut down this video. Canola oil? Sticking all the vegetables in at once? Salt causes high blood pressure? Coconut oil is bad for you? All wrong.

Inthought you didnt want the oil to hit the smoke point. Because all the smoke in your face and the smoke alarms that go off

You change profession?

You guys disrespected coconut oil

i'm not sure bok choy or broccoli are mediterranean....

She lost me when she said canola oil is more heart healthy…

Canola oil...nope!

Mediterranean: plenty of goat, lamb, chicken, seafood

...and most lentils don't need much soaking. Wher on earth did she get her info from? It sure isn't experience

Teach the doctor how to pour the stir fry onto the plate vs. scooping little bits at a time. God that was painful to watch. 😄

Those two had no chemistry, the whole episode was like watching nails on a chalkboard. She'd tell a joke he'd stare blankly or talk over her. Bleh

really should keep hair back when cooking. canned veggies=no and be nice to consider health condiions such as heart or kidney disease when discussing recipe

Wrong on the coconut oil…..need to research more! Skip the canola at all costs.

Dr. Mike, read The China Study! Please, don’t go this route!

Docmickey🐁🐀, why is it that your stir fry vegetables is watery? 🤭🤫🤔

That is not a Mediterranean dish

Canola oil?! Worst oil on the planet!

People in CA are not right

Ok. She needs more education. No on canola oil. Not watching anymore from this channel

Soy sauce?! Hahaha, that's ASIAN

You guys have no idea what you are doing.

Please season the chicken better than this

How can chicken be considered ‘healthy’ when you find out the way are bred and raised? How’s that for healthy eating? There’s no meat of any kind that’s healthy now. All pumped with all kinds of antibiotics and cramped in crates or cages.. please…🤪

Adding meat to perfectly good food is so unnatural. Whole foods, no oil, no junk, no processed foods is the perfect diet, unless you have specific allergies that prevent you from getting essential nutrients. Oil paralyses the arteries for several hours. Shrimp is incredibly high in cholesterol.

I don't get it... You are saying that processed foods are bad, but you are processing the food! What's the point?
