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

How To Cook Tikoy


How do you like your TIKOY done?

For years, I always cook Tikoy in old fashion way - dipped in egg then fried. Yummy but the taste is a bit boring, right? So last Chinese NY, I decided to reinvent the tikoy I received from Jun (Ruthie's bf) and came up with Lumping Tikoy.

Ingredients:
New Echague Bakery Tikoy (the best tikoy in town)
Kraft Eden Cheese

Preparation:
Cut tikoy into 4 parts then thin slices (about 2-3 inches long, 1/8inch thick)
Cut cheese into thin long strips
Roll tikoy with cheese in lumpia sheets/spring roll
Deep fry
Serve hot

This tastes really really good. Sweet, sticky, crunchy and cheesy! You can also use langka, Nutella chocolate spread, cheezwiz, peanut batter and strawberry jam instead of cheese. The next day, I dipped the remaining tikoy with Pillsbury hotcake batter then fried it...and it tasted equally good!
A bit late but Kung Hei Fat Choi!  :)
