Chicken and Chinese Chorizo Stew

12.15.2011 by Leah // 1 Comment

From the July 2011 Yummy magazine, here’s another recipe that’s so easy to prepare and yet so tasty, you wouldn’t think the ingredients are plain and very few.  What’s left from this dish we put in the fridge and after a week the flavors just became better!

For this recipe, you will only need:

  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 to 3 pieces chorizo Macau, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (thumb-size) piece ginger, minced
  • 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup mushroom (button, shiitake or dried mushrooms soaked in warm water), sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • pepper, to taste
  • chopped spring onion sprigs for garnish

Cooking directions:

  1. Heat pan thoroughly with oil then add chorizo Macau; cook until fat is rendered.  Add garlic and ginger, and saute until fragrant.
  2. Add chicken pieces and saute until meat is opaque white.  Stir in mushrooms.
  3. Add sesame oil, soy sauce (you can add more if desired) and sugar; simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle with pepper.  Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped spring onions (optional).

Here’s my actual labor of love (doesn’t it look so yummy?):

This dish is perfect with hot, plain white rice.     My first try was not disappointing, although I thought that it’s lacking in flavor.   But as I mentioned earlier, the leftover chicken was placed in the fridge and after a week – it was amazingly more flavorful.

I highly recommend this dish for those like me who doesn’t have much time to cook (and can only do so during weekends, mostly).   You can cook it in advance and then freeze it.  Just reheat when ready to be served.

    Yes you’re right, some plain white rice and I’d be good to go! That chicken looks so flavorful and delicious! Lovely shot.

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
