Hi everyone! 🥰 How's your day going? I hope everything's good with you and your family.

Sometimes, chickens can feel a little too plain when it's all by itself. Today I thought of cooking some chicken for dinner. However, I realized that I needed to consider some vegetables to pair well with it.
There were so many choices but this fresh, bright-green pechay caught my eye.
The vendor said it was P150/$2.55 per kilo. So we just bought P30/$0.51 worth. Enough to stretch the chicken and make the dish more nutritious.
And one thing I love about pechay is that it's rich in vitamins, like Vitamin C, K, and A. Good for immunity, bone health, and eyesight.
So today, I'm happy to share with you what we cooked with it.
Pechay With Chicken Stir-Fry
Ingredients:
• 300 g chicken
• 1 bunch pechay (bok choy)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 small onion
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
Cooking steps:
• I began by heating oil in the pan, then tossed in the garlic and onion, until they turned soft and fragrant.
• Next, I added the chicken and cooked it for about three to four minutes, just until the edges turned a light golden brown.
• After that, I splash some soy sauce and let it cook for a minute. Then pour in some water, cover the pan, and allow it to steam for about twenty minutes, so that the chicken becomes tender.
• When it was finally tender, I added the pechay, stirred it, and let it simmer for two to three minutes.
Note: Pechay cooks very fast so don't leave it too long, or else it becomes soggy, dull, and loses nutrients.
• And for the final touch, I sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar... to taste.
And here's the final plated dish! 🌷
We matched this with hot rice. And also added some chili to make the dish more enjoyable.
If you're a chili lover, try it too. It will make the dish extra yummy and satisfying. 😋
Also, you can try adding coconut milk to this dish, if you want to make it richer.
Until my next cooking...
Thanks for the visit! Have a lovely day. Buh-bye. 💗🌸
