Dinner: Spicy grilled chicken and vegetables (Dakgalbi: 닭갈비)

The recipe is here!: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/dakgalbi Dakgalbi is a delicious, spicy grilled chicken dish that's a popular choice for friends who are getting together to go out to eat. It's a natively communal dish that's always shared among a small, intimate group of people, so it naturally stimulates conversation and a good time. It's pretty much impossible to eat dakgalbi in silence! When you go to a restaurant with your friends and family and order dakgalbi, they'll bring out a large skillet filled with the dakgalbi ingredients as well as some side dishes. While the skillet cooks on the tabletop, you and your friends can munch on side dishes and talk, and maybe order some drinks, too. The dakgalbi will cook nicely and the waitress will tell you: "Now you can eat!" When you're almost completely finished, you can ask the waitress: "We'd like some stir-fried rice please." She'll bring out some rice, mix it with the leavings in the skillet, and quickly fry up some spicy, stir fried rice. She might divide the rice into portions and serve it to everyone at the table, or she might just leave it in the pan and let everyone dig in. For many people I know, this is their favorite part! Don't have a dakgalbi restaurant near you? Now you can make it at home! Invite your family and friends over, and prepare all the ingredients. "Are you guys ready to eat dakgalbi?" you can ask. "Yes, yes!" Bring out the pan filled with lots of vegetables, chicken, and the sauce, and cook it at the table. Your house will be full of an irresistible, delicious aroma, laughter, and conversation, I guarantee! Enjoy the recipe!

Chicken Breast

Health benefits of Spicy grilled chicken and vegetables (Dakgalbi: 닭갈비)

Skinless chicken breast, often heralded for its lean nutritional profile, is undeniably a powerhouse when it comes to protein content. With an impressive 21 grams of protein packed into every 100 grams of the breast, it emerges as a preferred choice for those conscious about their protein intake. Delving deeper into the nutritional matrix of chicken, one can't overlook the copious amounts of vitamin B6 it houses. This particular vitamin plays an indispensable role in our body, especially when discussing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) management.

For individuals grappling with PCOS, the internal hormonal turbulence can be overwhelming, often leading to a spike in testosterone and androgen levels. This is where vitamin B6 comes into the spotlight. Acting as a balancer, vitamin B6 diligently works behind the scenes to keep these hormones in check, ensuring they don't surge beyond desirable levels. It is this equilibrium that becomes paramount for those earnestly looking to curtail the excessive flow of testosterone and androgen. In the broader spectrum of PCOS management, incorporating foods rich in vitamin B6, like chicken breast, can be a strategic move, providing both nutritional sustenance and hormonal balance.
