FTF: Pininyahang Manok (Pineapple Chicken) PLUS Peeling Whole Fresh Pineapple =)
Hubby once bought whole fresh pineapple in the market (yes! he sometimes does the grocery… lucky me!) and when he came back he said, “Mom, I bought pineapple. Do you know how to peel it?” and so I said, “Hhhmm… Watch and learn!” In our almost 5 years of marriage, I believe it’s the first time we bought fresh pineapple and he hasn’t seen me peel one, yet. Recalling the other years of my life prior to my married life, I don’t think I’ve tried peeling one though, so basically what I used was – stock knowledge??? haha!!! I often watch my Lola and Titas do it, so I know I can impress my

Spiced Pineapple Chicken

Spiced Pineapple Chicken

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.

2. Heat the pan, add the oil and fry the chicken in a low heat until tender. Slow cooking is recommended for the chicken to cook evenly and if using boned chicken thigh, make sure to cook the inside portion very well.
3. Add the pineapple rings to the pan and let the flavors of the pineapple be extracted alongside with the chicken.
4. Sprinkle the chili powder (if using) and the Chinese 5 spice powder to the pan and fry until you smell the aroma the powder brings.
5. Tip in the soy sauce mixture and let it bubble around the chicken and pineapple until the sauce gets slightly thick.
6. Serve. You may arrange some coriander leaves for garnish.

Serves 2 and a little munchkin. LOL!

Btw, you can replace chicken with duck, pork, beef.. whatever you fancy. Enjoy!
