Boneless Chicken Feet Salad

My husband and I were craving for this chicken feet salad we had during our Singapore food adventure. He consistently requested me to do this recipe at home but I was hesitant because I'm so lazy to debone chicken feet. But what can I do, I also craved for it. So, to satisfy both our tummy, here's a quick recipe plus a little added effort in deboning the chicken feet. Anyhow, it is all worth it! I'm sure this will be a hit as an appetizer, as main course or even pulutan ;)

Spicy Thai Glass Noodle Salad

At times I have to deal with boring fried chicken for dinner, I always try to come up with something extra on the side to lighten up our appetite. A good dipping sauce might work but I was longing for something more exciting and new. From my recent post about our dining experience in a Thai restaurant, I really fell in love with their glass noodle salad which I think is just perfect for anything fried. So, a quick grocery for the ingredients and a little chopping time surely did an extra twist to our usual dinner.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup spring onion - chopped diagonally
• 1 cup coriander - rough chopped
• 1 medium red onion - thinly sliced
• 1 cup tomatoes - thinly sliced
• 1 piece medium sized carrot - grated or thinly julienne
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1/2 kg minced chicken meat
• 1/2 cup cashew - rough chopped
• 1 packet of glass noodles
• 2 tablespoon fish sauce
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoon sweet and chili sauce
• 1/4 cup water + 1/4 cup water
• salt
• pepper

Procedure:

1. Soak glass noodles in a hot water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the minced chicken meat with salt and pepper.
3. Put the mince chicken meat in a small casserole and add 1/4 cup water. Heat it in a medium low fire. Let simmer. Once the liquid is dry, let it fry until slightly golden. Remove from heat.
4. In a small bowl, mix fish sauce, lemon juice, sweet and chili sauce and 1/4 cup water. Set aside.  
5. In a large bowl, mix spring onion, coriander, onion, tomatoes, carrot, chili flakes, minced chicken meat, cashew, glass noodle and the sauce mixture. Make sure that the sauce is evenly distributed.
6. Serve and enjoy!

Lettuce, Beets, Chickpeas and Corn Salad

Well, from the title itself you will know exactly the ingredients of my post. On a healthier side of me, I love salads! I've been craving for salad these past few days so I decided to buy some ingredients in a grocery nearby my office for lunch.

I used to have this kind of salad from Pizza Hut and it is quite good. Simple yet appetizing! Since I was in the office, I couldn't prepare fresh beets, chickpeas and corn, so I just have to buy them in canned. Anyhow, I would probably not spend my time preparing those fresh ingredients just for salad. Yes, I know, I am lazy, but maybe for some other dish though.

Loaded with too much work, I'm sure vegies will be too light for a lunch treat so I added a canned tuna. So, here are the quick procedure and simple ingredients for this salad.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Iceberg lettuce - chopped
• 1/2 cup beets - (cooked/canned) cut at least 1"x1"
• 1/2 cup corn (cooked/canned)
• 1/2 cup chickpeas (cooked/canned)
• 2 tablespoon tuna (cooked/canned)
• 1 tablespoon light caesar dressing
• pinch of salt

Procedure:

1. Mix everything together.
2. Serve and enjoy!

Fruit Salad

Weekend and it’s time to clean-up some cans in our cupboard. I’ve found cans of fruit cocktail and cream that were supposed to be our New Year’s dessert, but since one of my cousins volunteered to bring fruit salad, I just kept my ingredients for future use. And that future then is now =D.

This very easy salad is always present during Christmas and New Year to almost all Filipino tables. But for my husband’s cravings, he won’t wait for next occasion to have this salad.

i love it with strips of fresh buko, but for this recipe, I just made used of the available ingredients I have in our cupboard and fridge.

 

 

 

Ingredients:

•  2 cans of 500 grams Fruit Cocktail
• 1 cup Cheese – diced
• ½ cup cherries – sliced
• 1 big apple – cube
• 1 cup Kaong
• 2 small cans Nestle Cream
• 1 large can of Condensed Milk

 

Procedure:

1. Drain off the syrup from the fruit cocktail and put in a bowl.
2. Mix in all other ingredients in the bowl.
3. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
