Cooking Chicken? Pistachio Encrusted Chicken With A Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce An Easy Chicken Recipe

This week I am taking a break from doing requests. This week I fee like cooking chicken.  I LOVE chicken and I love cooking a good chicken recipe. So this week I am making a pistachio encrusted chicken breast with a lovely and creamy gorgonzola cheese sauce.

A new supermarket opened up this last week in my area, a Mexican supermarket and the quality and prices for meat are excellent. I stocked up on chicken and beef for future recipes. I bought so much chicken that I really had to think about cooking chicken this week. As I said I love cooking chicken. I love grilling chicken and doing yakatori chicken and baking chicken. I don't care what it is I just love cooking chicken.

I have never seen a hard to do chicken recipe and that is the beauty of chicken is that any recipe you do with chicken is an easy chicken recipe because it's such a versatile meat to work with. This is a very easy way to b e cooking chicken and is a doable recipe for just about any night of the week for a hungry family.

I am certain that anyone eating this dish will love the crunch of the pistachios and the pungent aroma and flavor of the gorgonzola cheese sauce.  So as far as cooking chicken goes  I think it's one of the easiest meats to work with in the kitchen and I think that just about anything a person can do with chicken no matter how many ingredients are involved  can be an easy chicken recipe. Enjoy the video and make this dish I am sure you will love it.


NOTE: SORRY FOR THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO PICTURE OF THIS LOVELY DISH ON THIS POST. I MISTAKENLY INITIALIZED THE SD CARD ON MY DIGITAL CAMERA.

Vietnamese Food: Wok Tossed Eel

 

Vietnamese Food

 

This week it's back to wok. I mean back to work! This week I am making Vietnamese food. Anyone who know me knows that I LOVE Vietnamese food! I LOVE Asian food and Vietnamese cooking.  So I sat around at work this week thinking about what I wanted to make for my video and blog post this week and although I have been fulfilling many, many requests for Malaysian and Italian cuisine I had to focus on  some other requests to be fair to everyone and that is why I am making Vietnamese food this week.

I really didn't know what I wanted to make as far as Vietnamese food is concerned. I thought soup! Nah! It's summertime here in Vegas already and it's to hot for soup. So I thought that since I whipped out my wok last week for Malaysian food I would put it to use this week for Vietnamese food! I wanted to do something different this week though. I mean there is lot's of Vietnamese food recipes out there but I didn't want to work with beef or chicken or even pork for this weeks dish.

So there I was trying to think of something a bit different in Vietnamese food that I could make. I finally came upon it. This weeks Vietnamese food dish is going to be wok tossed Eel! Yup! Eel! I know a lot of you out there are going "Oh, no way!" I understand. Many people have a natural dislike of Eel even though they might not have ever tried it. Many people think that Eel is an ocean or river snake. That's not true! Eels are fish. Eels are a nice meaty, fatty and oily fish that of course have a really mean bite if you don't know what you are doing when you fish for them.

I am proud to say that Italians and Vietnamese people have one thing in common and that is their love of Eel. I mean in the Italian community where I come from in Brooklyn, New York the Italians have  this celebration of Christmas Eve called The Vigil or La Vigilia  and this celebration is done with meals of fish and other seafood and one of the fishes used to celebrate La Vigilia is the Eel. The Italians fry the Eel or marinate and roll the Eel and cook it in many other ways. Either way and no matter how it's done the Eel is delicious and a much underestimated fish in my opinion.

So this week it's going to be Vietnamese food. Now this dish is usually made using mung bean thread or glass noodles but in this case I am going to be using regular Italian spaghetti instead of the  glass noodle. I LOVE glass noodles in my Vietnamese food don't get me wrong but I thought since the Italians and the Vietnamese have such a love of the Eel that I would add a bit of Italian influence to the dish besides the fact that the Italian pasta adds more chew to the meal than the glass noodles do. So let's get going and have some Vietnamese food! Enjoy the video.

Malaysian Food: Ayam Gulai Lemak Cili Padis Malaysian Cuisine At It's Best!

Malaysian Food

 

This week I am making Malaysian food. Recently I have really enjoyed making Malaysian cuisine. Many of my Youtube viewers and subs know that I make lots of Asian dishes from all over the Asian world and oneday I got a request from a viewer in Malaysia asking me to make something called Nasi Lemak. Turns out that Nasi Lemak is the national dish of Malaysia and the Malay people love it. So I researched and I made Nasi Lemak sometime back and after that I have been bombarded with requests to make more Malaysian food, More Malaysian cuisine.

It seems that I have gotten such a great response from Malay people and to tell the truth I had never made Malaysian food before until the request. The fact of the matter now is that I LOVE Malaysian cuisine! So one of my other subs named Newrulefarah that's here Youtube channel name asked me to make a dish called Ayam Gulai Lemak Cili Padis. Literally translated means fatty chicken with chili! I am all into chili so I agreed. That was three or four months back.  It's hard to deal with all the requests a person can get when they cook online so it becomes a tricky balancing act.

So this week I am fulfilling a request for Malaysian food I am going to make the Ayam Gulai Lemak Cili Padis. This is as explained to me Malaysian cuisine that is a favorite comfort food among the Malay people. It's chicken with the lovely aroma of turmeric root and Thai red bird chilies, garlic and lemongrass. This is a simple Malay cuisine to make but has many subtle layers of flavors and aromas and that is what I love about Asian foods and learning to love about Malaysian food.

So  I did my research over the last week or so and asked my viewer Farah in Malaysia to help me out with some of the finer details of this Malaysian food and she did in fact help me a great deal because as with many Asian countries this dish is made slightly differently in different parts or states of the country and I for one do not like to outright copy someone's recipes I like to formulate my own. So after consulting with Farah and doing my research I landed on the way I am going to make this Malaysian cuisine this week.

I am going to make this dish Malaysian food the Ayam Gulai Lemak Cili Padis with a side dish of something called Sambal Goreng Telur which is a favored eggs side dish of Malaysian food consisting of hard boiled eggs that are fried until golden brown and then some onion rings are sauteed and a sambal sauce is made and then the fried eggs are heated up in the sambal and plated on top of the sauteed onion rings! According to my source in Malaysia, Farah this Malaysian cuisine side dish is the BOMB! So now it's time for me to cook!
