Chicken
Filipino-style chicken marinated in vinegar, soy and garlic. Served with a stir fry of wombok, mushrooms and snow peas on a bed of brown rice.
1. Place rice in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse.
2. Combine 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp sugar, crushed garlic and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken to coat. Set aside.
3. Roughly chop wombok, slice mushrooms and capsicum. Trim and halve snow peas. Peel and grate ginger. Keep separate.
4. Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Add ginger and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add remaining vegetables and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Season with soy sauce and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.
5. Wipe out pan and add 1 tbsp oil. Add chicken (reserve marinade) and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned. Pour in marinade and 1 cup water. Simmer for a further 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through. Season with pepper.
6. Divide rice, chicken and vegetables between bowls. Garnish with chopped coriander and chilli.
Notes:
When adding sugar to dishes, coconut sugar or raw cane sugar may be better options as they are less refined and contain some important minerals.
