Here's a meal I can eat everyday. It can be made with whatever vegetables and meat or fish you like. It's simple, tasty and economical, and it's very healthy.
Teppanyaki is a style of Japanese cooking. Maybe you've had it before if you've been to Benihana. The meat and vegetables are cooked on a grill and served with rice and dipping sauces. But you can make it at home very inexpensively.
I haven't made this in awhile because I've forgotten about it, but I had a nice portion of chicken breast to cook up and some patty pan squash I harvested today. I was going to stir fry them together and at the last second, I remembered teppanyaki.
All you have to do is grill the vegetables and meat in a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. The green beans were boiled. The dipping sauce is simply lemon juice and soy sauce. It is unbelievably tasty and you can vary the combination to your liking. This meal tonight cost 41 cents. It includes the cost of the chicken, onion, brown rice, olive oil, and seasonings. The patty pan squash and green beans are free from my garden. The lemon came from a friend's tree.
A meal like this keeps me motivated to eat healthy, everyday, for a long time.
