Carrots  Garlic rice  Balsamic vinegar  Cherry Jam  Scallions  Almonds  Chicken breast  Chicken stock concentrate Add on: Brussel sprouts The rice and Brussels sprouts: I decided to add brussel sprouts, D's work at a small part with some vegetable broth until the most Polly finished and then left to steam.

The protein: The chicken doesn't take long to complete it was cooked for a total of 14 minutes turning halfway through. The carrots: I didn't get to try the shaved carrots in another meal so I decided to do that here and it made a time for these a lot easier.

Reviewing: Sesame beef tacos, with quick pickled veggies and chili sour cream  1 serving prepared   Here's what you get: Radish  Scallion  Persian cucumber  Cilantro  Red cabbage  Korean chili flakes  Garlic powder  White wine vinegar  Sour cream  Sesame oil   Substituting: 5 oz Ground Bison Baby level hot sriracha  1/4 cup Rice Tamari sauce  Lime juice  Not used: Soy sauce  Actual hot sriracha  Flour tortilla  Ground Beef  The pickles: Pickled veggies were very quick prep I would suggest adding the vinegar and sugar together and stirring them until the sugar dissolves. Once that was done I added the mixture to the sliced veggies and then did the salt/pepper. This prevents having granulated sugar dropping to the bottom of the bowl. The protein: I substituted the ground beef for bison in this recipe. Using 5 oz total. The cook on this was relatively easy. I was warned that th...

Pork Bulgogi  Serves 1 My first attempt to make bulgogi with a limited amount of ingredients. Day 1 Here's what I have: * Marinade 1/4 cup tamari  2 tbsp brown sugar  2 tbsp sesame oil  3 cloves of garlic - pressed  1 tbsp Ginger 1 tsp red pepper flakes  1/4 tsp pepper  6 oz pork loin Frozen for 45 minutes and thinly sliced. The pork was marinated overnight, the recipes I found stated you could do so for an hour or two and be just fine. For this recipe I am missing red pear and red pepper paste. I'll make a second attempt when I can get those and compare.  Day 2 Prep your finishers, I'm adding shitake mushrooms to the meat. Today I'm doing rice and red cabbage as sides.

Reviewing: Hellofresh Baja Rockfish with yellow rice and salsa fresca. Serves 2 I only prepared a half serving for the salsa in this recipe but cooked all of the rice and Rockfish incase that didn't keep well uncooked. The chili pepper wasn't used because I'm a large baby about spicy stuff.  You can find the full recipe on their website.  Here's what you get: Grape tomatoes  Cilantro  Chili Pepper (not used) Jasmine rice  Sour cream  Cumin  Scallions  Lime  Turmeric  Mushroom stock concentrate Rockfish The instructions, were pretty easy to follow. I did some pre-prep once I received the box so most of the ingredients that needed to be cut were ready to go. If you don't have a lemon zester, a cheese grater that has a spice grater section will work just fine. The rice: The package you receive will be about half a cup uncooked. This was pretty easy to prepare and should be the first thing you make per instructions, that way it ...
