Recipe of the Week! #9

 
I don't know about you but this weather is making me extra lazy. So for this week, I just put together something that is easy, fast, and satisfying! This is a copy-cat of Donna Hay's recipe, since I'm starting to re-watch her show at TLC! Enjoy!

One-pot Chicken
Ingredients

• 3 cups Chicken stock (What I did was 1 chicken bouillon and 1 cup of water)
• 6 thinly sliced Ginger
• 6 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 long green chilli, sliced
• 1 1/2 cups of Jasmine rice
• 1 kilo of Chicken Tenders
• Ginger powder

Procedure:

1. Marinade the Chicken Tenders in Ginger powder for 1-2 hours.
2. Place the Chicken stock, ginger, garlic and chilli in a cooking pot over high heat and bring to boil.
3. Add the rice and stir once to distribute evenly over the bottom of the pan. When the stock comes back to the boil, add the chicken. (TRY NOT TO STIR TOO MUCH!)
4. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the stock and the chicken is tender.
5. AND THEN YOU ARE DONE! It's that easy!

Recipe of the Week! #8

I honestly don't know what to call this, but I have to say this was one of the best salmon marinades I have made! According to my parents it was "Japanese style" Hahaha! Give it a try!

Grilled Salmon
Ingredients

Marinade:

• 1 1/2 pound salmon fillets (mine were skin off)
• 1 table spoon of ground black pepper
• 1 table spoon of Garlic powder
• 1 table spoon of Cayenne pepper
• the juice from two fresh large lemons
• 1/3 cup Soy sauce (I used half Kikoman and half Coconut Brand)
• 1/3 cup Brown sugar
• 1/3 cup water (or apple juice if you have it)
• 1/4 cup Olive oil

Additional Ingredients:
Peanut oil

Procedure:

1. Clean your salmon and season the fillets with lemon, garlic powder, cayenne pepper and ground black pepper.
2. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water, lemon juice and oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fillets in a large tupperware with the soy sauce mixture, and flip the fillets around. Refrigerate overnight.
3. The next day, preheat grill for medium heat. (I used an electric griller)
4. Lightly oil grill plate. Place salmon on the preheated grill, and discard marinade. 
5. Cook salmon for 5 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
