I fell in love of asian cuisine, mostly because of my girlfriend who likes koreean culture and she showed me lots of traditional recipes. It was interesting, they use lots of spices and ingredients I never used or even heard of so it was like a challenge for me to try find some of those ingredients and experience with them.
Today's recipe is very simple, perfect for a fast dinner and it takes almost no time to prepare. You just have to put everything together, put it on the stove and forget about it for an hour. I'll guarantee you'll not regret if you try this recipe.
ASIAN INSPIRED CHICKEN
Serves 4
4 chicken thights
1/3 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes (optional)
4 cloves of garlic minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon sugar
Wash the chicken thights, dry them with some paper towels and season with salt and pepper (not to much salt because soy sauce is already salted). Mix the other ingredients in a bowl, combine with the chicken thights until they are well coated and put them in a non stick pan. Pour the rest of the sauce over the chicken cover it and let it simmer on low heat for about an hour or until the chicken is done. If the sauce is too thin after the chicken is done, remove the thights and increase the heat reducing the sauce until desired consistency.
Food's Language is about blending recipes from all around the world. Food can be considered a universal language, we are all "talking" it, even if some of us don't appreciate it so much as others. For me food means more than just something to fill my belly, I enjoy eating and as much as eating, I love cooking for me, for my girlfriend or my family. I feel that cooking is an act of love, of getting people closer and why not, getting to know them better alongside of a good meal.
