Woo! First post! An epic adventure has begun. Who knew med students had time to cook? If you knew me last year or any time before that you would've thought that I was crazy to spend time cooking instead of studying. For instance, I should be reading right now...Let's say I've changed for the better. But really, I have no idea what to write as an introduction. I think Ladan is taking care of that.
Anyway, tonight I made chicken skewers using the grill that I am obsessed with. My awesome roommate, Quy, and I bought a grill at the beginning of the school year, and it was probably one of the best purchases I have made food-wise. Since my philosophy of cooking is to never measure (hence I don't bake), I'll just describe how I made it.
I made a marinade out of Thai sweet chili sauce (I'll update a picture later), soy sauce, olive oil, cayenne pepper, and about 5 cloves of garlic. I cut the chicken into cubes and marinated them overnight, covered in the fridge. This afternoon I soaked bamboo skewers in water for about 30 minutes before skewering the marinated chicken cubes and pieces of yellow onion, alternating them on the skewers. I grilled the skewers (I got 6 skewers out of 3 chicken breasts) for about 4 minutes on each side, turning once (2 sides total - I was too lazy to turn more and it was really unnecessary). I served the skewers with brown rice and steamed broccoli.
3 cheers for the grill. Many more grilling adventures to come. Ladan has tried rib-eye steak and salmon that I made on the grill last week. Too bad I don't have any pictures :(
Ok my Safari just froze. I just want to say that after updating to Snow Leopard, everything has been working slower. WTF, Apple? Don't make me hate you....because you will get fat.
