Lunch Menu: Chicken Strips

Recently, I like to make my own lunch. By making my own lunch, I get more benefits. For instance, I know the exact what I actually eat. I have a concern in this since I have allergic to monosodium glutamate (MSG).

I read some article about what the best food to eat at lunch. Meat is the best among all (*if you are vegetarian, I am sorry.

For lunch, usually I make chicken strips. If you work in the morning, from 7am to 4 pm, I suggest you to do like I do. I prepare the meat and the sauce at night. So that in the morning, I just need to fry, heat up the sauce and boil the veggies.

Here is the recipe.
