In the Kitchen will be the category where I will post some of the recipes I cook for my family. I promise you these are super-duper easy recipes because I’m really not an expert in the kitchen plus the fact that I don’t want recipes with so many steps/how-tos. Just 4-6 instructions, anything more than that, I skip the page of my recipe book and look for simpler recipes. So newbies in the kitchen, I hope you’ll try my recipes or suggestions and let’s share kitchen secrets!
If I can’t think of something to cook or we got tired of eating meat, I always cook Ginisang Repolyo. It’s the easiest (and cheapest too!) vegetable recipe that one can cook. You may throw in whatever meat you like, I use ground pork or beef or bits of chicken breast, whatever’s available in the freezer.
Ginisang Repolyo or Sauteed Cabbage with Chicken recipe
Ingredients:
1 small cabbage, shredded
1 small carrot, cut into strips
chicken fillet, cut into small pieces (or 1/4 ground pork/beef)
2 cloves garlic
1 small onion
salt
pepper
oyster sauce
butter
How to cook:
- Saute garlic and onions in oil.
- Add chicken and 1 or 2 tablespoons oyster sauce. Let it cook for a few minutes.
- Add just a small amount of water, just enough to coat the chicken (about 1/4 cup). Bring to a boil.
- Add carrots in the boiling water. Cover and wait for the carrots to cook.
- Season the broth with salt and pepper.
- Add in the shredded cabbage. Toss until cabbage is cooked. Taste the broth again if it needs salt/pepper.
- After the cabbage is cooked, add 1 or 2 slices of butter.
The butter gives a “linamnam” factor and we always add it in any vegetable dish just for added sweetness.
What’s your “walang-ulam-eto-na-nga-lang” recipe? Aside from canned goods ha :p
I love this recipe but I am not an oyster sauce user. Is it masarap?
Hahaha..my walang-ulam-eto-na-nga-lang is always fried anything lol. But aside from adobo is my fave dish and I cook this recipe too because it is my daughter’s favorite. She is into veggies. 🙂
I love adobo too, mas gusto ko sya after ilang reheat, mas masarap.
I use it to give flavor sa meat, but you can skip it and just adjust your salt.
oooh, oyster sauce and butter…I haven’t tried those two but this is also a favorite in our house. how do you use the butter? as oil replacement when you saute?
I add the butter at the end, just two slices after the veggies are cooked. Let it melt to add a bit of sweetness. You can also use it to saute though but I’d still add butter after cooking, butter overload hehe
oooooh okay. will try that this week. 🙂
Stir-fried repolyo with pork tidbits is really delicious. For chicken, no, it must be pork or beef. But, if you like, also mix with upo or sayote.
We make this at home but have never tried adding butter! Thanks for the tip!
Sauteing vegetables is the easiest cooking to do with mixed veggies. I also did several cooking using this method. Best partner for this dish is fried chicken or fried fish.
Fried fish para healthy 🙂
I love recipes like this – healthy and cheap. I am sure my son will love this.
WOW ! I like how it looks, I like how easy it is and lastly it is so affordable.
