To buy
- 4 oz [115g] rotisserie chicken breast
- 6 oz [170g] firm tofu
From your shelf
- 1 bag [170g] edamame asian crunch
Staples
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Open the bag of edamame asian crunch and pour half of it into each of two bowls. If using chicken, shred 4 oz of rotisserie chicken breast and divide it between the bowls. If using tofu, press 6 oz of firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel, crumble it into bite-sized pieces, and divide between bowls.
- Shake or stir the dressing that clings to the greens and edamame to combine it, then pour any dressing pooled in the bottom of the bag over both bowls. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Note Swap the chicken or tofu for a can of chickpeas, drained and crumbled, or hard-boiled eggs if you have them. Eat now while the greens are crisp and the crunch is still audible. The bag will keep two days refrigerated after opening but the crunch fades quickly once dressed. Serve with rice or a glass of cold water to balance the rich sesame dressing.
