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.”

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.

Bulgogi and Spicy Slaw Sandwich

I made Bulgogi and Spicy Slaw Sandwich last week. It’s the same sandwich I was talking about in my last post. It’s just a simple sandwich of bulgogi and spicy Korean-Style slaw. You can add condiments or slices of cheese. But it’s totally unnecessary.

It was soooo good in its simplicity. The soft bun, juicy bulgogi, and the spicy – but creamy – slaw were so perfect together. My husband literally (and I really mean literally) could not talk while he was eating it. He was just emitting these weird sounds. I guess that’s what people call a foodgasm. 🙂

Takeout at Home: Mongolian Beef

When I was in elementary school, my uncle owned a popular Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles that catered to Americans. My family and I were there quite often and held most of our family celebrations at the restaurant. One of my favorite dishes was Mongolian Beef. It could have been THE favorite, considering I had the dish every time I was there. I even liked the green onions in the dish. And I generally hated green onions at the time.
