Baked Miso-Ginger Chicken with Ginger Snow Pea Salad

Today, I made to wonder dishes from Donna Hay's cookbooks. I love Donna Hay's cookbooks. They are the epitome of food porn. Every one of her books have great recipes and amazing photos. I have been slowly add to my collection. This recipe comes from her cookbook: No Time to Cook.


This recipe was so simple. All the ingredients are always in my fridge, and quick to put together. The only thing that took a little time was finely slicing the Snow Peas. My husband suggested, next time I will try shaved asparagus instead. He loves asparagus! Really, who doesn't? :)

The Miso-Ginger marinade was amazing! I have some firm Tofu in the fridge, later in the week I'll try a vegan version of this recipe and see how that turns out, of course with shaved asparagus. :)
