Chicken fillet with rice and vegetables in Korean is an example of how you can build a tasty and healthy lunch in about half an hour from the most familiar and affordable foods. You will need a wok frying pan - traditional cooking utensils on an open fire in South Asia. Modern wok pans for the wide consumer are somewhat different from the original ones, but believe me: even on the most ordinary cast iron skillet, with a little skill, you can get a very good result. Of course, the quality of roasting is slightly different from what Korean food masters are offering, but I think your family will forgive it.
The rice in this recipe does not need to be salted, it is a neutral ingredient that softens the sharpness of the main dish.
