Kushi Miso Goya

Kushi Miso Goya is a delightful Paleo dish that combines the bitterness of goya (bitter melon) with the savory depth of miso, grilled on skewers to create a unique flavor profile. This dish provides a healthy, low-carb option packed with nutrients, perfect for a satisfying supper.

Ingredients

• Goya (bitter melon) - 200 grams
• Chicken breast - 200 grams
• White miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut aminos - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Skewers (soaked in water if wooden) - 4

Steps

1. Slice the goya in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Cut it into 1 cm thick half-moon slices.
2. In a bowl, mix the white miso paste, coconut aminos, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.
3. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces and goya slices alternately onto the skewers.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
6. Serve the skewers hot, with any remaining marinade drizzled on top if desired.
