Herb-Garlic Mushroom Medley (Vegetarian)

Sweet-Soy Glazed Tofu (Vegan)

Box Assembly & Garnishes

Method

Citrus-Vinaigrette Shrimp

  1. 1

    Marinate shrimp

    In a bowl combine 1.5 tbs olive oil, 1 tbs lemon juice, 0.5 tsp orange zest, 1 tsp minced garlic, 0.5 tbs honey, 0.5 tsp kosher salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Add 12 shrimp and toss to coat. Let sit 10 minutes while preparing other components.

  2. 2

    Cook shrimp

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp in a single layer and cook 1.5-2 minutes per side until pink and just opaque. Remove from pan and rest 1 minute. Sprinkle with 1 tbs chopped parsley before placing in the box.

Smoky-Chipotle Chicken Bites

  1. 3

    Season chicken

    Toss 12 oz cubed chicken with 0.5 tsp minced chipotle, 0.5 tsp smoked paprika, 0.25 tsp ground cumin, 1 tbs olive oil, 0.5 tbs lime juice, 0.5 tsp kosher salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Let sit 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Sear and finish

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a thin film of oil if needed and add chicken cubes in a single layer. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until edges are browned and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest 2 minutes. Transfer to its compartment in the box.

Herb-Garlic Mushroom Medley (Vegetarian)

  1. 5

    Sauté mushrooms

    Heat 1 tbs butter and 0.5 tbs olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 10 oz mixed mushrooms in a single layer. Let them brown undisturbed 2-3 minutes, then stir and cook another 2 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add aromatics and deglaze

    Add 1 tsp minced garlic, 0.5 tsp thyme leaves and 0.25 tsp chopped rosemary. Season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp pepper. Pour in 1 tbs sherry or dry white wine if using and scrape browned bits; cook until liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Finish with 1 tsp chopped chives and transfer to the box.

Sweet-Soy Glazed Tofu (Vegan)

  1. 7

    Prep tofu

    Lightly dust 10 oz pressed tofu cubes with 1 tsp cornstarch on all sides; this helps create a crust.

  2. 8

    Make glaze

    In a small bowl whisk 1 tbs light soy sauce, 0.5 tbs dark brown sugar, 0.5 tsp rice vinegar, 0.5 tsp sesame oil and 0.5 tsp grated garlic until sugar dissolves.

  3. 9

    Pan-fry and glaze

    Heat 1 tbs neutral oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu cubes and cook without moving 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp on most sides. Lower heat to medium, pour the glaze over the tofu and toss carefully for 1 minute until it thickens and coats the cubes. Remove from heat; garnish with 0.5 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 1 tsp sliced scallion.

Box Assembly & Garnishes

  1. 10

    Assemble box

    Portion 1 cup steamed jasmine rice or mixed grains into one compartment or along one side of the box. Arrange the four prepared flavors in separate compartments or sections: Citrus-Vinaigrette Shrimp (all shrimp), Smoky-Chipotle Chicken Bites, Herb-Garlic Mushroom Medley, and Sweet-Soy Glazed Tofu. Add 1 cup mixed baby greens or microgreens as a fresh element.

  2. 11

    Garnish and serve

    Tuck lemon and lime wedges into the box for squeezing over shrimp and chicken/tofu as desired. Include 2 tsp soy sauce or extra dressing on the side. Serve immediately while warm; components can be made ahead and reheated briefly, then assembled just before serving.
