Leftover cooking - Making a healthy meal before traveling to London! Rice with lemon-garlic chicken with peppers and spinach.

in #life6 years ago (edited)

It's the day before Bianca and I travel to London to visit our friends @ezzy and @rea.

Normally I'm pretty anxious about traveling.

(I wrote about this before....I'm not the greatest at leaving)

But this time is different.

This time I don't have to go to the airport and struggle to get there on time.

I'm going by train!

All I have to do is get to Central Station Rotterdam 30 minutes before the train leaves and that's easy!

You can also bring all the food and drinks that you want on board.

Fantastic!

Tonight we decided to eat all the leftovers in the fridge.

I hate to waste food in general.

I managed to make a pretty decent meal with what I found.

Rice with lemon garlic chicken with peppers and spinach.

Ingredients: Red peppers, bell peppers, bacon, spring onions, 1 lime, rice, 2 chicken breasts, wok paste and a half a bag of Spinach. Not a bad leftover yield!

As usual prep all your stuff before you start cooking. Cut all the vegetables and the chicken.

Since Bianca ( @bkdbkd) thought me how to make rice the Brasilian way I don't make it any other way anymore. Put oil in a pan and fry some garlic then add the rice and fry for 2 minutes. Also, add salt.

Now add the water to just under and let it simmer. The rice will slowly absorb all the water add more if you need to.

Get a wok and heat it up then add oil.

Add the bacon and fry. When it's a bit crispy add the chicken. Fry until it has a nice color.

Time to add the vegetables. First all the peppers.

Then add the spinach. It will shrink in seconds.

Add the lime (just squeeze it by hand) and the wok paste.

Yes! It's starting look like something I would like to eat! I added the spring onions and stirred all for 2 minutes.

End Result! Great taste. Not bad at all for leftovers! I did also find some salad. Decided to eat that too. If last time London is anything to go on it won't be the most healthy experience :)

Thank you! You should. D.tube is a great place!

I just love traveling. I liked London a lot. I watched football game between my country Slovenia and England at Wembley. Going by train is best way to go. Enjoy.

I wonder what it will be like! Thank you.

Mark, Nice that you find an alternative way to travel. And it is much more convenient for you, so a very good choice.
Mhhh I wish to have those ingredients in my fridge as well, doesn’t look as left overs at all.

Thanks man!

I am fascinated by the rice especially. I have dry roasted my rice before but never given it a bit of a fry with garlic. Sounds ace!

That's a nice meal. I had dinner with your sister, Thomas, and little Sam.
Call me tonight will you? I want to say goodbye before you go and I leave for France coming Sunday!

rice is not very healthy :)
BUT SEE MUCH TASTY! I live in Turkey and we have some of my recipes similar. they are very similar to them. I'm sure it's big. thank you for sharing :)
by the way, what is "wok paste"?

I think that rice is very healthy! Why do you think that it's not?

Rice isn't healthy? That's new! Lol

That's a fine looking meal
Food wasting often comes from not knowing how to cook or handle and respect food in general.
Great post and nice travel ! :)

Healthy and tasty, safe travels and I'm sure we will see some pics of your time in London!

Thank you! I'm sure you will!

Nice, have a great time! If you ever head up to Manchester, feel free to hit me up for some recommendations of places to go! (It’s mainly food, because FOOD GOOD)

Looks healthy and delicious! Have an awesome time in London my friend. You @ezzy and @rea should consider coming out to Dublin, Ireland in March. @eroche, @misslasvegas and I are thinking about organizing a good ol' Irish STEEM meet up for the weekend of ST. Patricks Day!

Will there be beer? :)

We’re talkin Ireland on St Patty’s Day @exyle.........

Pretty good left overs dinner if you ask me. Enjoy your time with your friends in England. Have a safe trip.

You remind me of myself, eating super healthy before an all out binge fest bwahahah.. Travel binges are the best though so enjoy yourself and take lots of pictures! lol :)

You never ever waste food that's a great positive thing we should all learn from you the dish looks so amazing and delicious thanks for sharing :)

Dry frying rice of any kind seems to make the rice taste better even if u are just making a white rice! It gives it color & taste! Your dish looks delicious! Have fun on your adventure! Very new here, but as a foodie myself all the posts about food I just love!

Nice post and looks tasty. Never tried that wok pasta before.

Groeten uit Rotterdam ;)

Very resourceful. When I have leftovers, I just make fried rice.

@exyle You must be an amazing cook! You make me hungry every time with your veggies! Enjoy your trip!

Best!

Excellent application of the remaining products, my friend and the fact that you are an excellent culinary expert, I understood long ago by your recipes and you do not cease to amaze us with this. The dish is just fine, as I'm also a big fan of different meats, and if it's with fragrant spices and vegetables, it's really amazing! Thank you Mark for a great recipe and let us know about your trip to London!
