Takeout at Home: Chicken and Broccoli

For our “takeout” at home this week, we decided to do chicken and broccoli. Chicken and broccoli was among our favorite takeout items. But more importantly, I thought this dish was appropriate for Breast Cancer Awareness Month due to its cancer-fighting properties. In fact, Dr. Oz lists them on his list of dynamic food duos specifically for their cancer-fighting abilities. When eaten together, they are “three times more beneficial than when consumed alone.”

Sangchu Geotjeori (Korean Lettuce Salad)

Sangchu Geotjeori (Korean Lettuce Salad) is commonly served with Korean Barbecue at Korean restaurants. Its slightly salty, sweet, and vinegary taste complements Bulgogi and Galbi perfectly. I love it, in part, for the convenience, because I use it in lieu of lettuce wraps – saam – sometimes. It’s almost like eating a bulgogi or galbi lettuce wrap, deconstructed. And you don’t have to get your hands “dirty” in the process.

Flourless Chocolatey Black Bean Brownies

As I’ve stated many times in the past, I don’t bake much. I’m not a very patient person by nature. I would like to be. But for now, I’m not. Precisely measuring all the ingredients, beating egg whites until they peak, mixing the batter just right, waiting for it to bake, then waiting again for it to cool; it’s just too much for my teeny tiny shallow pool of patience. It’s compounded by the fact that I have a type-A, totally obsessive personality. So it takes twice as long as it normally would. It just makes for an untenable situation.

But as a person with lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity, I just don’t have a lot of choices at the local bakeries. And it gets very difficult when my monthly chocolate cravings hit. It’s usually the kind of craving where I want to swim in a vat of chocolate with an IV of chocolate stuck to me. So when a craving hits, I must bake…

Bulgogi – Guest Post at Justasdelish

I am doing a guest post over at Justasdelish today, a blog started by the lovely Shannon Lim.

When Shannon asked me to do the guest post, she had two requests. She asked that the recipe be simple and that it be something Korean. It makes perfect sense since I run a blog dedicated to healthy food, particularly Korean food. It would be silly for me to do the post about anything else!

Takeout at Home: Thai Basil Chicken

A few times every month, we do “takeout” at home. It usually consists of healthier versions of my favorite takeout foods. There is one requirement tho: it has to take less time than it would for me to grab takeout or get it delivered.

This week I made Thai basil chicken. I absolutely L.O.V.E. Thai food. It’s usually spicy and so full of flavor. But it can get super salty at times. Last time we had Thai at a restaurant, we ended up bringing home one of the dishes untouched because it was so salty. We reheated it with additional vegetables, and it was still very flavorful. So I decided to make Thai at home this week instead of going out.
