Topic: Chicken
I wanted a soupy base meal last night that's why I decided to cook this dish, first I want to cook it into Chicken Sinigang but as usual, my mind changes abruptly. I wanna try something new because that was my first time to cook this kind of dish. I used to add corn on the cob in boiled beef but for chicken, that was my first time. Since my first plan was to cook Sinigang, I decided to make it into a combination of sour, sweet, salty and spicy! Sounds complicated, right? Hehe, anyway the taste was so good. The sweet taste of the corn blended well with the sourness of the lemon juice.
Ingredients:
700 g stewing chicken, sliced
2 pcs. corn on the cob, cut into 4
1 carrot, cubed
2 tbsp. dried lemon grass (Fresh lemon grass taste better, but I was out of stock last night)
juice of 1 lemon
1 onion, sliced
1 ripe tomato, quartered
2 tbsp. crushed ginger
2 long green pepper
1 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. fish sauce
1/4 tsp. tumeric powder
Water, enough to cover the chicken
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Combine tumeric powder and chicken, blend well.
2. Combine water, onion, ginger, tomato, long green pepper and lemon grass in a pot, bring to a boil.
3. Add chicken and salt. Simmer until almost done, then add corn and carrots. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook until the vegetables are half done.
4. Add the remaining ingredients, adjust the seasoning. When donoe, remove from heat and serve.
