Pan-Seared Chicken Breast with Water Dropwort (Mina)
A Delicious and Healthy Twist: Chicken Breast and Water Dropwort Stir-fry
Enjoy the delightful combination of aromatic water dropwort (mina) and tender chicken breast in this simple yet flavorful grilled dish. While water dropwort and pork belly (samgyeopsal) are a popular pairing, today we’re opting for a healthier version with chicken breast. This recipe offers both delicious taste and excellent nutritional value. The freshness of organic water dropwort complements the mild flavor of the chicken breast perfectly, creating a unique culinary experience.
Main Ingredients
- 150g Chicken Breast (about 1 piece)
- 1/2 bunch Fresh Water Dropwort (Mina, approx. 50g)
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the fresh water dropwort. Using organic, vibrant water dropwort significantly enhances the dish’s aroma and flavor. Rinse the water dropwort thoroughly under running water and gently pat it dry.
Step 2
Instead of pork belly, we’re using healthy chicken breast for this recipe. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and lightly season with salt and pepper. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken breast. Sear the chicken breast until it’s lightly browned on the surface, cooking about 90% through.
Step 3
Once the chicken breast is about 90% cooked, add the prepared water dropwort to the pan. Stir-fry them together quickly. It’s crucial not to overcook the water dropwort, as it can become mushy and lose its fresh aroma. Cook just until it wilts slightly. This brings out the best in both the fragrant water dropwort and the tender chicken breast, completing your ‘Chicken Breast with Water Dropwort’ dish. Serve immediately while warm!
