Hi everyone! 🥰 How's your day going? I hope everything's good with you and your family.
‎
‎--
‎
‎Sometimes, chickens can feel a little too plain when it's all by itself. Today I thought of cooking some chicken for dinner. However, I realized that I needed to consider some vegetables to pair well with it.
‎
‎There were so many choices but this fresh, bright-green pechay caught my eye.
‎
‎The vendor said it was P150/$2.55 per kilo. So we just bought P30/$0.51 worth. Enough to stretch the chicken and make the dish more nutritious.
‎
‎And one thing I love about pechay is that it's rich in vitamins, like Vitamin C, K, and A. Good for immunity, bone health, and eyesight.
‎
‎So today, I'm happy to share with you what we cooked with it.
‎
‎Pechay With Chicken Stir-Fry
‎
‎Ingredients:
‎
‎• 300 g chicken
‎• 1 bunch pechay (bok choy)
‎• 3 cloves garlic
‎• 1 small onion
‎• 2 tbsp soy sauce
‎• 1/4 cup water
‎• salt and pepper
‎• 2 tbsp cooking oil
‎
‎Cooking steps:
‎
• ‎I began by heating oil in the pan, then tossed in the garlic and onion, until they turned soft and fragrant.
‎
• Next, I added the chicken and cooked it for about three to four minutes, just until the edges turned a light golden brown.
‎
• ‎After that, I splash some soy sauce and let it cook for a minute. Then pour in some water, cover the pan, and allow it to steam for about twenty minutes, so that the chicken becomes tender.
• When it was finally tender, I added the pechay, stirred it, and let it simmer for two to three minutes.
‎
‎Note: Pechay cooks very fast so don't leave it too long, or else it becomes soggy, dull, and loses nutrients.
‎
• And for the final touch, I sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar... to taste.
‎
‎And here's the final plated dish! 🌷
‎
‎We matched this with hot rice. And also added some chili to make the dish more enjoyable.
‎
‎If you're a chili lover, try it too. It will make the dish extra yummy and satisfying. 😋
‎
‎Also, you can try adding coconut milk to this dish, if you want to make it richer.
‎
‎Until my next cooking...
‎
‎Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
