Reviewing:

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.

Reviewing: Chicken sausage sweet potato and kale soup. 1 serving prepared Here's what you get: Forgot the cheese! Sweet potato Kale Italian chicken sausage mix Chili flake Yellow onion Italian seasoning Chicken stock concentrate Parmesan cheese Not used: Demi baguette The soup: Per instructions I started by cooking the onion and sausage together until the onions are browned and the sausage was cooked through. Next the sweet potatoes, stock concentrate and spice packet was added along with 1 in 1/4 cup of vegetable broth. After the soup was done simmering for 7 minutes per instruction I put the kale in and let it cook for an additional seven minutes. Side: Since I can't have the baguette I made some GF cheese crackers to go along with the soup today. The process for that will be posted at a later date. The plate: And flat bread - Kris
