Online recipes for cooking and other edible “nom-noms” for people.

  • Baking boneless and skinless chicken thighs

    I had to go online to find out how to bake chicken in the oven. Below is my modified version to support the uploaded images:

    • Smash boneless and skinless, free-range, chicken thighs with meat tenderizer.
    • Smash fresh garlic cloves.
    • Brine for 15 minutes with any combination of the following:
      • Food enhancer (such MSG or Monosodium glutamate)
      • Salt – tablet salt, Kosher salt, sea salt, whatever
      • Soy boi sauce – light or thin, dark, mushroom-flavored sauce, thick, oyster sauce, whatever
    • Spray baking pan with cooking oil.
    • Place wrong side of chicken face skyward into baking dish.
    • Add the smashed garlic atop the chicken and sprinkle with sugar and black ground pepper.
    • Preheat oven 375 degrees F.
    • Cover with foil to seal in the juices. I tuck my foil inward so the steamed juices will recycle back downward into the baking pan.
    • Bake for 20 minutes.
    • Remove foil and flip your chicken to cook another 15-20 minutes.
    • Let your chicken rest, serve, and enjoy.

    My favorite chicken pieces are the dark meats, which are the thighs and drumsticks.

  • Marinating free-range chicken thighs

    Smashed garlic, dried herbs, bay leaf, ground black pepper, and soy boi sauce.
    Smashed (on one/“wrong” side only) boneless and skinless free-range chicken thighs
    Marinate “wrong” side with smashed holes downward and sprinkle garlic salt LIGHTLY over them.

    Cover chickens and marinate overnight. And sear both sides to lock in whatever juices and add water whatever to continue simmer with cornstarch (for shiny thickened sauce) and sugar (for the “real” flavor) for forty minutes whatever. Let rest and serve. Voila! 20190902-1522.

  • 20120206-Random Notes

    Here are my notes via the “Memo” app of my smart/cellphone:

    2012/02/06 18:50. We were watching “Hannity on FoxNews“. I noticed Vince Flynn, the author of “Kill Shot” was a guest on the show. When I saw the words “kill shot”, I noticed how the synchronicity of my previous thoughts was about Maw’s arm sling, which I kept referring to as: “sling shot” as a joke. The two words also brought to my mind about the word “assassination” and hopefully not unto moi, of course. With regards to the author’s last name, I recall a commercial about “Anthony Flynn. I am the owner and founder of YouBar.” Notice how Flynn will seem quite “discretely” as messages unto moi. Thank you.

    2012/02/06 11:14. I noticed how the social engineers are putting Obama down while putting Mittens up. This is symbolic within a certain group of people who are influencing public opinions about potential POTUS.

    2012/02/06 10:36. While washing the dish and while listening to a news cable programming on television, I had a thought about how the “conservatives” are using the platform of a dead man, such as Ronald Reagan. Yesterday, Maw told me that I should use my own ideas and NOT copy the ideas of others. So there you go.

    2012/02/06 10:49. I forgot to add one quarter wedge of sliced onion. At 10:46, we dissolved on tablespoon of “McCormick Beef Stew Seasoning Mix” in cold water before adding into the turkey stew for taste.

    2012/02/06 09:25. Maw and then later Paw was chopping ingredients for a turkey stew/soup: some dark turkey meat, four carrots, four celery stalks and about “two pounds” of turkey stock.

    2012/02/06 02:20. At 02:19, I head another single but softer tap somewhere to my right of the mirror to the wooden dresser drawer furniture.

    2012/02/06 01:51. At 01:48, I head a single LOUD thump on the window. At 01:50, I head a soft tap of “paper” near my computer monitor area.

  • Veggie and pompano fish soup…

    At 12:31pm, here are my quick notes during the cooking/boiling of Maw’s “sinigang” soup recipe:

    (12:08)

    ~Clean fish yourself or better yet have the butchers remove the fins and innards.
    ~Boil two small “gabi” (or oblong-shaped, taro roots, skinned and sliced vertically in half).
    ~Boil one “handful” of green beans (cut off the stems) with 1.5″ wedge of onion.
    ~Remove green beans and boil (small) Napa cabbage, sliced vertically in half.
    ~Add one tablespoon of “Sinigang” soup base mix (Mama Sita) and fish sauce (Rufina) to taste.
    ~Remove green beans, taro roots and Napa cabbage and set aside in bowl.
    ~Boil one Philippine eggplant, cut into 1″ discs.

    (12:31)

    ~Add ONE pompano fish, cut in half (one head section, one tail section).
    ~Add back the green beans, taro root and napa cabbage.
    ~Boil all ingredients, say another 20 to thirty minutes, until fish is cooked.

    Enjoy!
