Chicken Yakitori

11 February 2011

This recipe is a request of my husband. I let him choose from the Asian Favorites cookbook of our friend and he pointed out this Chicken Yakitori. Sounds very Japanese to us. Well, this is supposed to be a finger food as directed in the book, but I made it as a dinner dish.

So here goes the Chicken Yakitori for the second Friday of February:

Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breasts sliced lengthwise
*for marinade:
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 tsp ginger, ground
oil for greasing

Steps:
1. Marinade the chicken breasts with the teriyaki sauce, honey, garlic and ginger overnight.
2. Heat barbecue grill or electric grill and grease lightly with oil.
3. Place the chicken in a row and cook for 2 minutes on each side, brushing with marinade as they cook, and when turned.
4. Wait until chicken is golden brown or well done and serve with rice.

Dinner is served.

Bibimbap

7 January 2011 I was able to eat my first Bibimbap when I worked for the Korean Embassy Manila right after college. Our Korean bosses often treated us for lunch and one time they ordered me this Korean rice bowl topping. It looks too Filipino for me, with all the veggies on top of white rice, but the spicy taste made it all truly Korean. I haven't got the chance to eat Bibimbap again since I left the embassy until me and my husband's couple friends invited us for dinner in their house and they served us this favorite Korean cuisine. Home made Bibimbap, and a little less spicy, still tastes so good that I want to try cooking it myself. After all, I realized I missed Korean foods! So here goes... Bibimbap recipe for my first Friday of cooking: Ingredients: (note: T = tablespoon, t = teaspoon) 1. For the meat:  Thin sliced lean meat (either chicken, pork or beef) 2 cloves crushed garlic 2 chopped green onions 5 T soy sauce 2 T sugar 2 T oil 1 T sesame oil 1 t sesame s

Spinach Fettuccine Alfredo

14 January 2011 Four Christmases ago, me and my best friends got together on an afternoon cooking date. We never cooked together before so we were very thrilled to start. Excited, we went on the nearby grocery store in our small city and bought the ingredients for Fettuccine Alfredo. Much to our delight, most of the ingredients we needed were out of stock because of the holiday season's demands. After which we just laughed it out and bought substitute ingredients for our dish hoping that it will still taste as good. And so we went on and cooked the pasta, having a good time while cooking. We underestimated ourselves and expected we're not going to make it perfect. But when it was done, lucky are we! It tastes really yummy! As I reminisce those funny and yummy memories with my best friends, I would really love to have a taste of it again and now with my hubby. Now here's my own version of it... Spinach Fettuccine Alfredo for my second Friday: Ingredients: 500 grams Sp
