Spicy Garlic Chicken

-
This is an adaptation of a not-so-old Knorr Real Sarap (a seasoning) recipe presented in one of its advertisements, with Claudine Barreto as the endorser-cook. It's presented as a "pulutan" dish, but I must say it's also a good viand for those who love spicy taste to top their rice.


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 kg chicken breast fillet, cut into small strips
  • 1/4 cup Knorr or Maggi original seasoning
  • 1 small pack Knorr Real Sarap
  • 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • chopped chilis (red and green)
  • mixed veggies (as garnish)

Directions:
  1. Marinate chicken in the first five ingredients for at least 1 hour.
  2. In a pan, sautee garlic in butter.
  3. Sautee chicken (without the marinade) until it changes in color.
  4. Add mixed veggies until cooked.
  5. Pour the marinade and let the sauce thickens.
  6. When almost done, put the chilis.
  7. Remove from heat when the sauce evaporates.

Ginataang Kalabasa at Talong (Squash and Eggplant in Coconut Cream)

Honestly, I just came up with this recipe because of the coconut powder in my cupboard that's about to expire in a month's time. Hehe... The squash and the eggplant (along with other veggies) came all the way from MMSU in Ilocos Norte. My in-laws always bring some when they visit us. They believe that vegetables are fresher and cheaper there. It's also a subtle way of telling me to cook healthy foods for their son and grandchildren. Oh well... I choose not to disagree. It's an advantage on my budgeting anyway. I remember the recipe my mom taught me way before. But in hers, she used fresh coconut to get the cream from. I'm kinda lazy with this so I opt for the "unnatural" one. My bad!!! Ingredients: 1 tbsp oil 1 tsp minced garlic 1 small onion, chopped 1 tsp fish sauce ( patis) 200 g pork belly, boiled until tender and cut into pieces 1 pack coconut powder (to yield 1/2 c cream when prepared as to directions) 1/4 c water (use the pork broth) 2 cups squash, ...

Sinampalukang Manok (Chicken in Tamarind Soup)

I'm not actually sure of the recipe's name English translation. My apology if I'm wrong, and would appreciate to know the correction. Anyway, my babies just so adore this recipe. First because it's soup-based and, secondly, they simply love the tenderness of chicken. I usually use the breast part instead of thigh and leg cuts for soup and sauce-based recipes since I find the breast part more tooth-friendly for my babies. Ingredients: 1/2 kg chicken breast, cut into pieces 1 tbsp oil 1 pc small ginger, julienne 1 tsp garlic, minced 1 small onion, chopped 1 tbsp patis 2 cups water 1/4 cup tamarind extract* (or 2 tbsp tamarind-based powder) 5 pcs green pepper (lady finger variety) a small bunch of pechay, stems separated from the leaves (did not do this in this recipe) Directions: Heat the oil in a deep wok (kawali) Suatee in order the ginger, garlic, and onion until cooked. Add patis. Drop in the chicken, mix, cover, and simmer for five minutes. When the chicken changes i...

Inabraw* na Kabute at Bulaklak

Inabraw/Inabrao is a recipe from the Ilocos region made of vegetables with native fish sauce in steaming broth. Being a true-blooded Ilocano, my hubby loves this dish so much. Before we got married, I really tried so hard to perfect this recipe. Well, it's only after three years of marriage that I somehow learned to cook it in the taste he wants. Hehe... Now, I have lots of versions of inabraw, combining different veggies available in the fridge. I have tried a combo of two or more of these: horse radish ( malunggay ) leaves and fruit, squash, eggplant, lady's finger ( okra ), string beans, bitter gourd, battle ( upo ), sponge gourd ( patola ), sweet pepper ( siling haba ), and a lot more. The choices are endless actually. You just have to experiment as to which ones match best. This one is my most recently discovered version. The squash flower ( bulaklak ) came from a village vendor who walked by our house one morning. She said she picked the flowers herself from her own backy...
