ASIAN INSPIRED CHICKEN

  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.

SPANISH OMELETTE

   When I'm home, the first thing in the morning that I like to do is to serve a big cup of coffee and enjoy a flavourful breakfast. So I did this morning, when I prepared myself a big omelette full of color, healthy and I don't need to mention how delicious it was.

   The following recipe is for one serving but it can be very easy adapted for more.

   SPANISH OMELETTE
   Serves 1

   1 medium potato
   Few slices of chorizo or any other flavoured sausage
   1 medium tomato
   1 green onion
   2 eggs
   1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary
   2-3 tablespoons olive oil
   1 tablespoon lemon juice
   2 extra tablespoons of olive oil

   Add the olive oil into a hot non stick pan, fairly wash or peel the potato, thinly slice it and add it to your pan. Let the potato fry at medium heat until it gets golden brown then add the sliced chorizo and rosemary, keep frying them. Meantime cut the tomato in four, take the seeds out and roughly chop it and add it to the pan. Beat the eggs with some salt and pepper to taste, mix the cheese with the beaten eggs. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, try to evenly spread the potato, tomato and sausage, put the lid on and let it on low heat until the eggs are cooked.
   Thinly chop the green onion, put it into a bowl and add over the lemon juice and the extra olive oil. Mix well and when the eggs are cooked top with the onion.
