FTF: Pininyahang Manok (Pineapple Chicken) PLUS Peeling Whole Fresh Pineapple =)
I’ve seen quite a lot of recipes with Chinese 5 Spice powder, so when we went to the grocery on weekend, i decided to buy 1. When I searched again for some recipes, all those that I have read were all gone! LOL.. but good thing, there’s this one recipe i thought my family would love. I have no idea about the taste of that Chinese 5 Spice powder, I just followed the recipe and TADAH!!! It was good!!! It was like a Chinese dish (oh hence the word Chinese 5 Spice..LOL) we often eat in Chinese restaurants.
I always cook for 3 (well, 2 + 1 little darling who eats too little) so you may want to double or triple the recipe if you’re cooking for more. Happy Home-Cooking!
INGREDIENTS:
1 tsp. vegetable oil
2 chicken thighs
1 tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 tbsp. light muscovado sugar (brown sugar may be used)
1/2 tsp. tomato purée (tonato sauce may be used)
1 small can pineapple slices, juice reserved (I only used half of the can)
1/4 tsp. chili powder (optional)
1/2 tsp. Chinese 5 spice powder
may use coriander leaves to garnish
METHOD:
1. In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, tomato purée and pineapple juice.
Serves 2 and a little munchkin. LOL!
Btw, you can replace chicken with duck, pork, beef.. whatever you fancy. Enjoy!
