Day 1: Lunch

I managed to sleep through breakfast, so here's what I ate for lunch!

Water

Baby carrots (8)

Hummus (1 tbsp)

3" of Artisan Bread

Balsamic Sesame Chicken*

Fullness factor: 98% Full (I'm 5'9 and ~130 lbs)

I did a slight remake of Justbento's balsamic sesame chicken using drumsticks (much cheaper). I've included the recipe below.

Balsamic Sesame Chicken ($2, 15 min) [JB remake]

Ingredients:

Drumsticks x3

Roasted Sesame seeds

Balsamic vinegar

Cooking Wine

Soy Sauce

Salt

Starch

Garlic clove x2

Olive oil

Instructions:

1. Cut the meat off the drumstick by making a vertical slice. Continue to make slices near the bone until you can pull the meat off. Then slice the meat into cubes in the size of your own choosing (I prefer smaller pieces around 1x1)

2. Marinate using 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1/2 tbsp cooking wine (I use traditional chinese liao jiu, 料酒) for at least 10 minutes. Grind up the two garlic cloves (you can also mince if you like) and mix evenly with the chicken. Add about 1/2 tbsp of starch and 1 tsp of salt to absorb some of the liquid

3. Heat your pot and pour in about 2-3 tbsp of olive oil. Add the chicken and stir, use a spatula to flatten and mix for about 5 minutes.

General feelings:

The chicken was still a little fishy to me, so I probably won't be able to eat it cold. There was enough for at least 2 or 3 more meals.
