THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK: LIBRA, SCORPIO, AND SAGITTARIUS.
ARIES Make some time for the care of your family or your house. This is a good time to develop a small family business to operate from home. TAURUS With summer coming, you’re very excited at the prospect of various adventures that you’re planning. You feel increasingly curious and want to learn about many dif- ferent things. GEMINI Curious by nature, you take the initiative to experience new adventures. At your workplace, an opening will come up for a job that you have been coveting for a long time. CANCER Your mind is very restless this week. In fact, you might get involved in a spiritual move- ment that will bring you many answers. LEO When you return home you’ll be swept away by inspiration for a masterpiece or you’ll undertake an act of generosity that benefits others. VIRGO There are lots of people around you this week. Enjoy their company. Pressure at work is high, so an active social life will help you relax. LIBRA You have a flash of inspiration about the perfect career path for you. You will receive confirmation in the form of an offer of training that will help you to get closer to it. SCORPIO Let your dreams run wild as you consider ideas for a summer vacation. Sometimes it’s important to plan such a grand adven- ture well in advance. SAGITTARIUS You’re rather sensitive at the moment, but some rest will prevent you from taking everything too personally. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go away on vacation soon. CAPRICORN It’s always easier to negotiate with people we’re not emotionally involved with. You get along with everyone but you are a little less flexible with your children. Try to see things from their side. AQUARIUS The workplace is in an uproar and you should make the most of this. Trust your instincts and you’ll carve a niche for your- self among the elite of this world. PISCES You are warmly applauded after having accomplished an exploit that you felt was rather run of the mill. Perhaps you’ll do something heroic, even if it’s just listening to a person in distress.

METHOD : Remove skin from chicken breasts and with a sharp knife cut flesh from bones. Skin and bones can be simmered in a little water and used for stock. Cut chicken meat into small dice. Combine cornflour, salt and five-spice powder and sprinkle over chicken. Toss to coat. Cut spring onions into bite-size lengths. Drain straw mushrooms and cut each mushroom in half. Dice bamboo shoot. Heat oil and deep fry walnuts or almonds until golden. Drain and set aside. Fry chicken pieces, a third at a time, in deep oil over high heat just until they change colour. This takes about 1 minute for each lot. As they are fried, lift them out with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent paper. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of oil. Add vegetables to pan and stir-fry over high heat for 1 minute. Add stock. Mix soy and extra cornflour with cold water, add to pan, stir until it thickens. Add chicken pieces and heat through. Turn off heat, stir in nuts and serve immediately with rice noodles.
