Steamed Sweet Potato with Olive Oil

These past few days I am enjoying eating steamed sweet potato drizzled with olive oil and salt. I just copied this food into my husband’s meal, I am not really aware that olive oil tasted good on food. You know I came from the country that the only oil we used at home is corn oil or coconut oil, I didn’t care about the olive oil at home when I used it on frying the food still taste the same so it was not a big deal for me.

Well not until I used it on sweet potato, the aroma of the olive oil made me crave for more of this food below. Simple yet so delicious on my tongue.

My husband didn’t like the idea of me eating more of his food because sweet potatoes are quite expensive here unlike rice which is less expensive. Anyway the sweet potato were steamed and cut into pieces, drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper if it is available.

Chicken Adobo with Sprite

As what I have planned the other day I will cook chicken adobo today and while getting the ingredients in the fridge I saw the little can of sprite which is free from the meal I bought in GS25 a week ago. I only drink soft drinks occasionally as well as my husband thinking it is going to be stock in the fridge for a long time, I took it with the garlic and chicken, I will definitely try a new recipe.

My ingredients:

chicken, 1 cup of vinegar, 2 cups of soy sauce, salt, garlic, onion, cooking oil, sprite

Procedure:

  1. Saute the garlic and onion until brown, put the chicken and simmer for few minutes
  2. Add the vinegar and soy sauce, simmer and add one cup of water
  3. Cooked it until the chicken absorbed the soy sauce and vinegar
  4. Add sprite and cooked the chicken until you desire, you can add salt and pepper to taste
  5. Serve hot with rice

Chicken Cooked in Sweetend Coconut Milk with Squash

While shopping the other day I just have thought I want to eat chicken cooked in coconut milk as I know there’s one in Lotte Super I have asked my husband if I can buy it, he agreed so we bought it. After two days or so I’ve cooked the chicken with squash but when my husband opened the canned coconut milk it turns out it is not pure coconut milk it has sugar on it. It is a type of coconut milk which is used in drinks like piña colada, it is very sweet indeed.

As left no choice I don’t have else seasoning to mix on my chicken as soy sauce is not around I still used the canned coconut milk after my husband divulge eating it. The chicken and squash was so sweet, instead of being a viand it became a dessert.
