Cooking Procedure/Ingredients: For Easy Basil and Tomato Chicken Breast Recipe

0 comments
Hello! Guys Im jaime boyboy again,  I would like to introduce new '' Easy Basil and Tomato Chicken Breast  ''.


Sometimes, thinking of what to prepare for dinner becomes a burden. Trying to come-up with a new and exciting dish often adds to the pressure. If you are experiencing this, you are not alone. Most home cooks (like you and me) run out of dinner ideas. The best remedy for this is to either search for new ideas, or do some experiment – like combining 2 dishes, perhaps.


This Easy Basil and Tomato Chicken Breast came about when I was trying to use all the remaining ingredients in the fridge. There were chicken breasts, some bell pepper, a can of diced tomatoes, basil, and some onion. At first, I had no clue on what to do with the ingredients in front of me. So I started to season and pan-fry the chicken before the other parts of the recipe came into perspective.


It ended out simple and nice. There is a taste of freshness in the dish, and it seemed so easy to cook. I ate it with flour tortilla. You can also try having this with pita bread or steamed rice.


Easy Basil and Tomato Chicken Breast Recipe


Ingredients:


2 lbs boneless chicken breasts
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
1 small green bell pepper, sliced
1 (26 ounces) can, diced tomatoes
2 fresh basil leaves, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste


Cooking Procedure:


Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the chicken. Pan-fry each side for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan. Let cool. Slice into 1 inch strips.
Heat remaining olive oil in a separate pan.
Sauté onion and garlic; continue cooking for 2 minutes or until the onion becomes soft.
Put-in tomato and basil. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
Put-in the chicken strips. Cook for 6 minutes.
Add bell peppers, salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes more.


Serve. Share and enjoy!

Cooking Procedure/Ingredients: For Beef with Broccoli Lo Mein Recipe

0 comments
Hello! Guys Im jaime boyboy again,  I would like to introduce new '' Beef with Broccoli Lo Mein  ''.



If you liked our Beef with Broccoli, you will surely love this Beef with Broccoli Lo Mein Recipe. The main difference between the two recipes is the use of noodles, along with some minor distinction in the ingredients and cooking process.


You might have tried both Chow Mein and Lo Mein before. Do you know the difference between these noodle dishes? If you answered noodles, you are partially correct. The difference is not really the type of noodles used, but rather the manner that these noodles are prepared. If you noticed Chow Mein noodles are crisp while Lo Mein noodles are soft.


This is because chow mein recipes require the noodles to be fried, while lo mein recipes calls for noodles to be tossed.
The main thing that I liked in this Beef with Broccoli Lo Mein Recipe is its delicious flavor. Without any doubt, this Beef with Broccoli Lo Mein Recipe will bring joy to your taste buds while satisfying your appetite. I also liked the fact that the ingredients are easily accessible to anyone. Speaking of ingredients, you will notice that I sometimes use a component called “Sherry”. This is a type of wine which is also known as cooking sherry or dry sherry. This helps improve the flavor and aroma of the dish. This is nice to have but not required for this recipe.


Since we are dealing with beef in this recipe, let me share some tips for you to be able to create a successful dish. It is a must for the beef to be tender. To ensure this, you should select tender cuts such as tenderloin or sirloin. If you are in a budget and opted for tougher cuts, try using meat tenderizer tools to tenderize the meat. I am not a fan of meat tenderizer powder so I will not recommend it. Also, keep in mind to slice the beef thinly. The thinner the slice, the less chewey the meat becomes regardless of the cut. As for the pasta, try not to over cook them. Soggy noodles is not enjoyable to eat.
If you have questions or clarifications, let me know by shooting me an email or commenting.

Hello! Guys Im jaime boyboy again,  I would like to introduce new '' Ground Beef Tostada ''.



This Ground Beef  Tostada is pretty much the same as your regular beef taco. The only difference is the shell: tacos are served in a folded shell while the shells for tostadas are flat. In addition, some tacos come in soft wraps, and tostadas are never served that way.


If you are looking for a quick and easy ground beef recipe, I suggest that you consider making Ground Beef Tostada. I know that most of you are not comfortable with too much cooking. The only cooking involved with this ground beef recipe is with the ground beef — the rest are arranging the rest of the ingredients to come-up with your own awesome tostada creation.


I like this dish because it tastes good and it is very quick easy to prepare. This is perfect for beginners – even to those who have no cooking experience.
There are other ingredients that you can use as toppings. Avocado and onion are good examples. Can you suggest other toppings that we can use for tostadas?


Ground Beef Tostada Recipe


Ingredients:


1 lb lean ground beef
15 ounces canned refried beans
1 pouch taco seasoning
12 pieces tostada shells
2 cups lettuce, shredded
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon cooking oil

Procedure:


1. Heat a pan and put-in the cooking oil.
2. Add the ground beef and cook until the color turns light brown.
3. Put-in the taco seasoning and water. Stir, let boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes. Note: add water as necessary.
4. Add the refried beans and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Turn the heat off, and then set aside.
6. Place the tostada shell in a plate, and then top with cooked ground beef.

Cooking Procedure/Ingredients: For Beef Curry Recipe

0 comments
Hello! Guys Im jaime boyboy again,  I would like to introduce new '' Beef Curry Recipe''.



If you liked our Chicken Curry recipe, this recipe is worth a try. This Beef Curry recipe will give you a great tasting dish with an inviting aroma. I am sure that you will enjoy this dish. 


One word of caution though: get an extra cup of rice ready – it might come in handy later on.
Beef Curry is cooked in many different ways. This recipe that we have here is the mild version. There are people who love to eat curry dishes, but have a low tolerance with coconut milk. This recipe uses fresh milk as a replacement. 


If you like a rich and tasty curry dish, you can always use coconut milk (use the same measurement).
If you will ask me, I will go for coconut milk for this dish. Coconut milk makes this dish richer and creamier. Why did I use fresh milk for this recipe then? Not all of us have the same taste buds. Some people like mild foods, while others prefer the opposite. I just want to feature our recipes as neutral as possible. We can always substitute ingredients to make it taste the way that we want. Don’t get me wrong, this recipe tastes great – it just has a milder taste compared to the same dish that uses coconut milk.


Coconut milk of fresh milk: the choice is all up to you. No matter what your choice is, I am confident that you will love this Beef Curry dish.

Ingredients:


2 lbs beef, cubed

Cooking Procedure/Ingredients: For Galbi Recipe

1 comments
Hello! Guys Im jaime boyboy again,  I would like to introduce new '' Galbi ''.


Galbi is a Korean grilled beef short ribs recipe. It is also known as Kalbi.


This is easy beef recipe is simple to make. It only requires the the meat to be marinated for a reasonable amount of time before grilling. If you are a cooking newbie, you won’t have a hard time making this dish. This is as simple as making Inihaw na Liempo.


Choosing the right meat is important. Beef – in general – is not as tender as chicken, but there are certain parts that are softer than the rest: the short ribs is one of them. Make sure that you do not over cook the meat so that it will remain tender.


Galbi is usually eaten with leafy vegetables such as lettuce. The meat is wrapped with the veggie and dipped in fermented bean paste. However, this dish can also be eaten with steamed rice. This is what I do all the time. I like it dipped in toyomansi along with some chili sauce.


Galbi Recipe


Ingredients:


2 1/2 to 3 lbs beef short ribs, sliced
3/4 cups light soy sauce
3 tablespoons garlic, minced
4 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon cooking rice wine
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon chili powder


Cooking Procedure:


-Make the marinade by combining soy sauce, garlic, sugars, rice wine, sesame oil, and chili powder in a bowl. Stir.
-Place the beef short ribs in a heavy duty freezer bag and pour in the marinade.
-Secure the freezer bag by sealing the edges. Make sure to release all the air inside the bag before closing.
-Place the bag in the fridge and marinate overnight.
-Grill the short ribs for about 4 to 8 minutes per side (depending on the heat) while basting with the remaining marinade.
-Place in a serving plate. Serve.
-Share and enjoy!
