Cooking adventures

I am not really a good cook but I try at least to serve my family with dishes that I myself cook. Well not exactly by me, the meals that I cook are mostly from food blogs or those that I saw on TV. This is one of the moments when i feel the need to write the recipes so i won't forget (i am so bad at remembering things lately).

So these are two of richie’s well-loved dishes, which I got from watching the cooking segment of Boy and Kris:

Crispy Liempo with Kangkong
½ kilo of liempo, diced
Maggi magic sarap
Oyster sauce
Kangkong leaves (I used Chinese kangkong and on one occasion, spinach but tbe chinese kangkong tastes better)

Procedure:
Marinade the liempo in maggi magic sarap and oyster sauce (about 1 to 1 ½ tablespoon, or until all the meat is coated)
In a hot wok, put the liempo (the fatty portion) and cook in its own oil. Add the remaining liempo slices and fry until crispy.
Remove the liempo.
Leave at least a teaspoon of oil.
Saute garlic. Add oyster sauce. Add the kangkong and mix until all the leaves are covered.
Add the cooked liempo and stir.
Serve hot.

Picadillo

1/2 kilo chicken giniling

2-3 medium size potatoes, diced

1 carrot, diced

celery stalks, diced

garlic, crushed

onion, sliced

1/2 kilo tomatoes, chopped coarsely

oil

Maggi Magic Sarap (optional)

Procedure:

Heat oil in a wok. Once hot, put ground chicken and cook until no longer pink.

Add garlic and onions. Add tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes wilt. Add maggi maggic sarap and stir well. (if you are not using maggi, season with patis, salt and pepper) Add the potatoes. Add a cup or 2 of water. When the potatoes are almost tender, add the carrots and celery (so the carrots and celery will remain crisp). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper

And to the words of Kris Aquino: "This is such a winner!"
