Broccoli with Shrimp
Broccoli is one of those veggies that I have come to like through the years. Not only does it taste good, it is also very nutricious:
- No cholesterol
- High in calcium
- Very high in dietary fiber
- High in iron
- Very high in vitamin A
- Very high in vitamin B6
- Very high in vitamin C
Although it is one of those veggies that can be eaten raw, I prefer it either steamed or stir fried =D This dish is similar to those often served in chinese restos so you may want to try it.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- Shrimp
- 1 stalk broccoli
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Procedure:
- In a skillet, heat oil.
- Add garlic and stir fry for 2 mins or until garlic is brown.
- Add mixture of soy sauce, water, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well.
- Add shrimps and broccoli and bring to boil.
- Reduce heat and cook for a few minutes more, until the vegetable is cooked and until the shrimp turns pink.
Buttered Shrimp
First post in this category naturally belongs to shrimp (you can also use prawn) because they thaw easily and because it is easy to spot when they’re finally cooked (changes color).
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/4 cup leeks (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon spring onion (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon garlic (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
Procedure:
- Heat pan and then add the butter. Turn off the fire once the butter has already melted.Tip: You can opt to add a little cooking oil to ensure that the butter does not burn.
- Add the garlic and saute.
- Once the garlic is already brown, turn on the fire again and then add the rest of the ingredients.
- Cook over low heat for around 5 minutes or until the shrimps turn bright red.Tip: Mix constantly to ensure that all sides of the shrimps are cooked evenly. Do not overcook because the shell of the shrimp will stick to its meat.
Pakistani Chicken
According to wiki,
Foods such as curries and barbecues are some of the most enjoyable cuisines that have made Pakistani food popular in the twenty-first century.
Because I cannot seem to think of a name for this dish and because of the quoted statement above, I decided to call this another experiment, the Pakistani Chicken =D 
Ingredients are as follows:
- 1/4 Kg chicken breast
- 6 to 8 pcs of calamansi
- Around 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder
- Garlic powder
- Pepper
- Optional: for extra spicy flavor, add green thai chili
1. Prepare the marinade and marinate the chicken to calamansi, barbecue sauce, curry powder, pepper, and garlic flavor for 10 mins.
2. Heat a pan and add the marinade with the chicken.
3. Add your green chili and simmer for 15 minutes. Tip: Slice your green chili for the extra spicy taste.
