Stir Fry Walnut Chicken

I love nuts and by that I mean dry fruit in case you have a very disgusting mind. Thank God I'm not a woman because it would have sound even more dirtier.

Not every dry-fruit or form of nuts is good for health. Some are just plain calories and blood pressure catalysts.

Walnuts are the good nuts just like almonds. Walnuts are good for a lot of things.

Some of these things are helping in weight-loss (which doesn't mean that you gulp them), they are good for hair, skin, reducing diabetes and stress relief.

This recipe I am going to make is again oriental and has lots of walnuts in them ?(as much as you want to add). It is a bit different of a Stir Fry Walnut Chicken with a combination of nice and expensive vegetables.

Ingredients:

500 grams of boneless chicken cut into 1 inch thick pieces

1/2 medium red capsicum

1/2 medium yellow capsicum

a medium sized broccoli stalk

some finely chopped green onions

1 cup of chicken broth

4 teaspoon of cornflour ( 2 for the chicken and 2 for the broth)

4 teaspoons of soy sauce ( 2 for the chicken and 2 for the broth)

1.5 teaspoon salt (half for the chicken and one during the cooking)

1.5 teaspoon black pepper (half for the chicken and one during the cooking)

1 teaspoon ginger paste

1 teaspoon garlic paste

1 cup of walnuts but you can add more if you want

First of all we marinade the chicken by adding 2 teaspoon of corn flour, 2 teaspoon of soy sauce, salt and black pepper with a little chicken broth just to give the chicken a nice flavor.

Now we add the other 2 teaspoon of soy sauce and corn flour in a separate bowl, whisk it together and then add the remaining chicken broth to it .

Set it aside.

After doing the both above you cut your vegetables the way you like them.

Let the stir frying begin.

Heat up 3-4 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan (JUST BY THE WAY I NEED A NEW ONE).

Add the chicken along the ginger paste, garlic paste and cook it until the chicken changes color.

Add the chicken broth mixture and if you want you can add the walnuts right now or later at the end.

I added them after this step to add more flavor to them and the whole darn recipe.

Let it cook until the gravy gets a little thick.

Add the broccoli first, stir fry it for 2 minutes and then add the red/yellow capsicum.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper at this point so the vegetables are not tasteless.

Stir fry for a minute or two.

I stir fried it until the gravy was reduced enough to give the whole dish a dry look.

Sprinkle on some chopped green onion at the very last minute and you are all done.

Top it off with more walnuts and chopped green onions.

Ladies and gentlemen, lets all go nus for Stir Fry Walnut Chicken.

Asian Jalapeño Chicken

Making food for people is all about showing your love towards them, taking care of their emotions and feelings. I'M KIDDING who gives a crap about emotions and feelings these days. I don't have any.

So, in search of a new recipe I came across something very different and to my surprise it was of Chinese decent. It's called Jalapeño Chicken but that also sounds like a Mexican or Continental dish so, we name it Asian Jalapeño Chicken.

It's sweet, savory and spicy all in the same time. The best part is that it's super easy to make and only takes 5 minutes to prepare and 10-15 minutes to make depending upon how good you are with the stove or the gas cylinder because its winters and the GOVERNMENT is messing up gas supplies.

Ingredients:

500 grams boneless chicken cut in 1 inch long cubes

1/2 cup honey

1 teaspoon garlic paste

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

juice of 2-3 lemons

1/4 teaspoon sesame seed

1 sliced jalapeño 

1 sliced lemon, pinch of sesame seeds, chopped coriander leaves and more sliced jalapeños for garnishing

First we season the chicken with some salt and pepper.

Then we heat oil in a wok or non-stick pan and start frying the chicken until its golden brown.

Set it aside.

Now in a bowl add honey, soy sauce, garlic paste, sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and sesame seed.

Mix it to prepare the gravy mixture.

Chop slices of lemon and coriander leaves for garnishing later.

Now on a frying pan heat 1-2 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat and add the gravy mixture.

Bring it to a boil, add the chicken, jalapeño slices and some lemon slices.

Let it cook as the chicken absorbs the gravy and it will thicken in 5-7 minutes.

Asian Jalapeño Chicken is ready to serve.

Top it with more jalapeño slices, sesame seeds and coriander leaves. This is best eaten with plain boiled rice or even boiled bran rice.

Ladies and gentlemen, let go of your taste-buds for the SWEET, SAVORY AND SPICY Asian Jalapeño Chicken.

Chicken Teriyaki

So, I woke up today and I asked myself "What am I doing with my life? I should cook some chinese food."

So I made two different things today. One of them was Chicken Teriyaki.

Chicken Teriyaki. Its very simple and is made with a handful of ingredients.

You need:


400 grams of chicken thigh or leg meat with skin. (if you live in Lahore then it will be easily available at Al Fateh. They have skinned leg and thigh parts and they also make them boneless for you)

3 tablespoon oil

2 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoon apple juice

2 tablespoon soy sauce

1 tablespoon ginger paste


1 teaspoon salt 

Apply ginger paste and salt to chicken and leave it for 30-40 minutes. 

Heat oil in a pan.

Put the skin side down of the chicken.

Fry it till it gets brown then flip it to other side.

Mix honey, apple juice and soy sauce together & add it in the chicken. Stir it well.

Cook till the liquid evaporates. Do not I repeat DO NOT overcook it or it will get bitter like the people you love.
