Filipino Chicken Soup With Coconut Rice Recipes

FILIPINO COCONUT GARLIC FRIED RICE (SINANGAG)

Steps:

• Put rice in a large bowl with enough water to cover by a few inches. Swirl with your fingers, then drain. Repeat until the water runs clear, about 3 times.
• Stir together rice, 1 1/2 cups water, coconut cream, turmeric, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Chill, uncovered, 2 to 4 hours or overnight.
• Heat coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet or wok over high heat. Add garlic; cook until it just begins to brown, about 1 minute. Add rice and spread in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, until lightly browned and crisp on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Add fish sauce. Cook, stirring, until fully combined and heated through, about 2 minutes.

GINATAANG MANOK (CHICKEN COOKED IN COCONUT MILK)

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat and stir in the ginger slices. Cook and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove ginger and set aside. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the same skillet over medium-high heat without crowding. Cook until chicken is lightly brown on all sides. Return the ginger to the skillet and add coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then cover the skillet with the lid tilted to allow steam to escape. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in the spinach. Simmer uncovered until spinach is warmed through, 8 to 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, as necessary.

CHICKEN SOUP (PHILIPPINE STYLE)

Steps:

• Cut the whole chicken in pieces. This will help it to cook faster! Boil chicken until cooked, then take them out and place them in a large bowl to cool. SAVE THE CHICKEN STOCK! (You will need this!)
• As you're waiting for the chicken to cool down, start preping your veggies.
• Slice the carrots in 3, dice the celery, dice the onion, and shred the cabbage. Set these all aside.
• Now that the chicken is cooled down, shred it.
• In a large stock pot, place 3/4 of a stick of butter into the pot to melt. Add the onions and cook until transparent, and then add the chicken and garlic powder to saute. When the chicken is all nice and aromatic with the onion and garlic --
• POUR the stock into the pot. (I told you that you would need this!).
• When it comes to a boil, add the carrots, celery, cabbage, macaroni (or shells) and chicken bullion. Mix it good!
• Add the remaining butter to the soup. It will look like OIL, but it is not. This brings out the flavor of the soup!
• Let simmer and when the macaroni (or shells) are all done, you're ready to eat it!
• We always add CARNATION EVAPORATED MILK for a creamer soup, but it's all up to you. Most people don't like to do that becuase they THINK it will spoil. It's NOT fresh milk! So you can add it!
• We usually serve this with GARLIC BREAD topped with Parmesan cheese!
• This will become a favorite in your house too!
