As I promised a few days ago, I'm sharing a recipe for cabbage shoots that I harvested a few days ago. Sorry for the delay, hehe. Of course, I had a busy schedule in my garden and only just got around to updating the recipe now.
As you know from my previous post, I harvested cabbage shoots, green beans, basil, and curly green chilies.
So, I'm going to cook them all together. It's very simple to make, but it definitely tastes delicious because the vegetables are still fresh.
Let's see how I cook it in my kitchen. 🤩
THE INGREDIENTS
- 250 grams of chicken thighs
- 250 grams of green beans
- cabbage shoots to taste
- basil to taste
- 50 grams of curly green chilies, or to taste
- 3 cloves of shallots
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1-2 tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
- enough water
- 4 tablespoons of coconut oil or any cooking oil
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
First, I chopped all the ingredients I would use for this dish. I cut the chicken thighs into pieces.
I also sliced the shallots, garlic, and the curly green chilies. I also chopped the tomatoes.
For the green beans, I cut them diagonally into thin strips, like curly green chilies.
For the cabbage shoots, I cut them in half so they retain their shape.
Then, prepare a frying pan and heat a little vegetable oil. Here I used coconut oil. Coconut oil really makes the dish smell delicious!
Once the oil is slightly hot, over low heat, I add the chopped shallots and garlic. Stir them thoroughly until fragrant.
Once they're fragrant, I add the chicken thighs. Sauté for about five minutes.
Add a little water to prevent them from burning. Cook with the pan covered.
When the chicken is almost cooked, add all the chopped vegetables. Add the chilies if you like it spicy. Cook for another 3-5 minutes.
I added salt and sugar, and a little soy sauce, for flavor, to balance the overall flavors.
Don't overcook them, as they'll retain their crunchiness.
Then I took them out and served them.
SERVE
The aroma of coconut oil wafted throughout my house. It was truly fragrant. The chicken also looked juicy.
Meanwhile, the vegetables remained crunchy. They were beautifully arranged on the serving platter.
Oh, even my husband couldn't wait to devour my dish. I say patiently because I had to take a video. Lol.
I hope you enjoy this dish made with vegetables I harvested from my garden ♥️
