Chicken Breast Galbi
Split chicken breast in half. Cut chicken at a slight angle into small pieces (similar to sushi). Make small groves into each piece.
Take out a mixing bowl and combine all of the other listed ingredients for the marinade. Put chicken pieces into marinade and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Put a frying pan on medium-high heat and grill.
Tofu Salsa Salad
Place soft silken tofu straight into a bowl.
For the marinade, take out a mixing bowl and mix in all of the listed ingredients under 'Tofu Salad (Dressing)'
Chop bell peppers and onion into small cubes. Place them into the marinade. Give a thorough mix.
Before eating, place some microgreens over the tofu. Then add 3-4 large spoonfuls of the marinade over the tofu. Enjoy.
Sesame Broccoli
Slice the dirty end-piece off the broccoli stem. Then cut/split each floret into individual pieces (reference video - I like to leave part of the stem on the florettes).
Fill a pot with water. Salt the water. Bring up to boil. Once water is boiling, place broccoli pieces in for exactly 2 minutes. Drain broccoli and place under cold water to cool them down. Then let broccoli pieces sit in the colander and drain off any excess water.
Take out a mixing bowl. Add sesame oil, minced garlic and sesame seeds. Mix throughly.
Then place broccoli into the mixing bowl and toss in marinade. Season with salt! Enjoy.
- There are many varieties of tofu, each with different texture. For the tofu salsa salad recipe, purchase soft silken tofu. (Silken tofu also comes as "medium" or "firm" - but go for the "soft").
