Chicken in Soy Sauce With Sweet Potatoes

Made another PACHAM today. It tastes like ESCABECHE, ADOBO and AFRITADA haha. It looks uninviting (forgive the low quality picture) but in all fairness, I think it tasted good-- sweet, sour and salty.

I like to use CAMOTE (sweet potatoes) as a substitute for potatoes, they're less expensive and compliments nicely with soysauce based dishes.

Chicken Mushroom With Broccoli

Here's another easy and yummy chicken recipe I'd like to share. I cooked this yesterday and it turned out...edible. Lols. Modesty aside, I think it turned out yummy. It's easy to do, healthy and yes, wont hurt your pocket.

 

Ingredients:
1/2 kilo of Chicken strips / fillet
Broccoli worth 40P (I bought in Quiapo market so it's cheaper)
1 small can of mushroom
Ginger, thinly sliced
Soy sauce
3-4 tbsp Cornstarch

Preparation:

- Blanch or steam your broccoli. I steamed my broccoli along with rice, I just used a steam pan placed on top of my rice cooker, this way it'll be cheaper and easier - no need to boil and drain water. Let it steam for 1 min, then pour cold water on them so they'll retain their perfect green color.
- Marinate chicken strips/fillets in soy sauce and ginger
- Add 2-3 tbsp. of cornstarch on your marinate, blend well
- Set aside for at least 30mins
- Heat oil in a pan
- Saute the marinated chicken
- Add 1 cup of water, mix well until sauce thickens
- Add the mushroom
- Lastly, add the broccoli
- Serve on top of hot rice

Total expenses: 170P
Good for 8 - 10 servings

Easy Carbonara Recipe

My favorite Carbonara has got to be the one from Jack's Loft. Sinful up to the last bite. Perfect al dente linguine pasta with creamy white sauce and bacon...oh la la! PERFECT! I have been cooking Carbonara for quite a while but still can't manage to achieve the same perfection.

Anyway, heree is my own version of Carbonara:

2 cans of big Alaska Evap Milk
1 250ml All Purpose Cream
1/4 cup grated cheese
1 small can of mushroom (drained)
5 pcs of sweet ham chopped into small pieces (or bacon)
1 tsp. butter

1/2 kilo of pasta linguine (check the packaging for directions)

Sautee ham into butter, add mushroon, then evap milk and cream. Mix all the remaining ingredients together. Wait until it gets condensed and creamy. Top it with more cheese and dried oregano. Serve hot or cold. Enjoy!
