Recreate the popular chicken stick salad from convenience stores. Using chicken breast and tofu makes it healthy, and surprisingly moist and tender even when cold. Add broccoli for nutrition and texture. This is a recommended recipe for meal prep that's healthy yet satisfying.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Tofu 150g (1/2 block)
  • Chicken Breast 300g (1 piece)
  • Broccoli 100g (1/4 small head)
  • Potato Starch 1 tbsp

Seasonings

  • Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
  • Chicken Bouillon Powder 1 tsp
  • Soy Sauce 1 tsp
  • Sugar 1 tsp
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Microwave 1/2 block (150g) of tofu for 3 minutes at 600W. Lightly crumble, drain in a colander, and let cool to room temperature before draining any excess water.
  2. Separate the florets and stem of 1/4 head (100g) of broccoli.
  3. Finely chop the broccoli stem into about 2mm cubes and place in a microwave-safe container.
  4. Place the broccoli florets on top of the container with the chopped stem. Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds at 600W, then let cool.
  5. Cut 1 piece (300g) of chicken breast into 2-3cm cubes.
  6. Place the cubed chicken breast in a food processor and process until it forms a paste.
  7. Once the chicken is paste-like, add the drained tofu, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp potato starch, 1 tsp chicken bouillon powder, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  8. Process further in the food processor until the tofu is no longer distinguishable.
  9. Remove the food processor blade and add the cooled broccoli florets, finely chopped.
  10. If the broccoli stems have excess water, squeeze it out before adding.
  11. Mix everything thoroughly until uniform.
  12. Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface and spread the mixture onto it.
  13. Starting from the far end, roll the mixture tightly with the plastic wrap, expelling air as you go. Twist both ends like a candy wrapper. (This is the key!) The tightness of the roll will determine the thickness, so roll firmly to make it slender.
  14. Gather about 3 wrapped chicken sticks and wrap them together in aluminum foil.
  15. Set a steaming rack in a deep frying pan and add water. If you don't have a steaming rack, you can use a small bowl and a plate as a substitute.
  16. Place the foil-wrapped sticks on the steaming rack, cover, and steam over medium heat for 20 minutes.
  17. (If using a microwave) Microwave each stick for 1 to 1 minute 15 seconds, keeping them wrapped in plastic, placed on a heatproof dish, and turning them over once halfway through.
  18. After steaming for 20 minutes, carefully check by hand (beware of steam) to ensure they are firm.
  19. Once cooked, remove the aluminum foil and let them cool to room temperature.
  20. Once cooled, cut off both ends of the plastic wrap with scissors and unwrap the sticks.
