Chicken katsu with roasted green beans and ginger rice

1 Serving prepared

Here's what you get:

Ginger (not pictured/used)

Green bean

Garlic powder

Cornstarch

Katsu sauce (not pictured/used)

Jasmine rice

Chicken cutlets

Panko bread crumbs (not pictured/used)

Sour cream

Sesame seed

Substitutes:

Home made GF katsu sauce

Glutino GF pretzel sticks, processed to make crumb coating.

The rice:

This was a reheat of yesterday's leftover rice. I was unable to use the ginger provided as it arrived squishy and unusable. To substitute I used ginger paste I have on hand.

The protein:

The chicken was baked instead of fried to reduce oil use. I prepped tje same way the recipe suggested, then baked 400 degrees for 18 mins.

The greenbeans:

These were cooked in the cast iron pan with 1/2 tsp butter instead of roasting. Total cook time was 8 mins.

The sauce:

I had to substitute the katsu sauce that came with the kit as I have to omit gluten products. Since I have never had this sauce before I am not sure how close I got to the sauce provided.

Extras:

For the crumb coat I crushed a few sticks of Glutino gf pretzel sticks to make a crumb coat.

The plate:

I do like the flavor of the sauce I made and plan to use it on grilled barbecue at some point. The overall flavor combo was great and I really liked this meal. Roasted carrots would work well as an alternate veggie.

Cheese tortilla party

Making: Cheese tortilla! 6 servings prepared. Here's what I have: 284 Grams of king Arthur masa harina 60 Grams cheese powder 30 Grams butter powder 419 grams hot water Preparation: The dry ingredients were combined in the mixing bowl. With the stand mixer set to stir I slowly added the hot water until the dough ball formed. Once everything was well Incorporated the adult wall was divided into six portions. A damp paper towel was placed over the dough so it didn't try out as the tortillas were cooked. Using a parchment lined tortilla press each dough ball was pressed just before cooking on the Comal. Each side was allowed to cook for 30-45 seconds before flipping. This allowed each side to dry out just enough. The second cook was done until the tortilla puffed up and Browning was beginning to form. The plate! - Kris
