SamgYetang

The recipe is from the site: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/samgyetang. Our former Dean in Aquinas Graduate School Dr. Pedro Bernaldez shared his talent in cooking and this is the outcome of his SAMGYETANG:




Ingredients:
Small chicken (Cornish hen), 1/4 cup of sweet rice, a dozen cloves of garlic, green onions, a few jujubes, and 1 or 2 small ginseng roots.

Wash and rinse your chicken in cold running water.
Soak 1/4 cup of sweet rice for 1 hour.
Stuff the chicken with the sweet rice, a ginseng root, a few jujubes, and 3-4 cloves of garlic. Place it in a pot.
Pour water into the pot and boil it over high heat for 20 minutes. When it starts boiling, skim off any foam and fat that rises to the surface Then pour in more water and boil it over medium heat for 40 minutes.
When it cooks properly, the chicken will be easily pulled apart by chopsticks.
Serve it with salt and pepper and kimchi or kaktugi.

Moroccan Meatballs

this recipe is from JENNY BEAN (Jenny Michelle Tuason Bulaong), looks good, im sure it tastes even better!

Ground beef into balls add salt an pepper to taste. Sautée garlic onion and capsicum add the meatballs. Add coco cream and curry powder paste. Simmer for 25mins until meat is cooked. Add black sesame seed, a bit of lemon and salt and pepper to taste.

Pahabol: You can use sour cream sauce as an alternative if you're not fond of coconut cream/milk. But use water first until meat is cooked and add the sour cream later. Make sure don't over cook the cream as it will taste a bit bitter.
