## What is Filipino Chicken Macaroni Salad?

Filipino Macaroni Salad is a sweet and creamy pasta salad that uses mayonnaise, shredded chicken breast, carrots, cheese, pickles, raisins, onions and condensed milk.

Most filipinos would only serve this during special occasions like Christmas Dinner, New Year's or during fiestas.

### Is Filipino Macaroni Salad Different From Russian Salad?

This is similar to Russian Salad, however Filipino Macaroni Salad usually does not use eggs nor potatoes.

As with other Filipino dishes, Filipino Macaroni Salad also tend to be more sweet than salty with the addition of condensed milk, pineapple chunks and raisins.

Filipinos also usually mix cheddar cheese with sweet dishes which could sound intriguing to some, but this actually works quite well.

## Essential Ingredients

- 400g of elbow macaroni
- 300g of chicken breast
- 150g of cubed carrots
- 400g of canned pineapple chunks, drained
- 350g of mayonnaise, to taste
- 120g of cubed cheddar cheese
- 60g of chopped pickle relish
- 120g of raisins
- 1 large onion, diced
- 150g of sweetened condensed milk
- Salt and pepper to taste

## Method

1. Cook the elbow macaroni until it reaches the perfect al dente texture. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. Boil the 300g of chicken breast in salted water until fully cooked. Once cooled, shred them into thin strips and set aside.
3. Optionally, boil 150g of cubed carrots until tender. Make sure not to overcook them. Drain and set aside to cool. If you prefer, you can have the carrots raw.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled macaroni, chicken, carrots with the rest of the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Stir it up until everything is well combined.

Note: For the best taste, chill the salad before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more delicious and satisfying salad.

## Some Ingredient Substitutes

If you're having trouble finding some ingredients, don't fret! Here are a few substitutes:

- Elbow Macaroni: You can use other types of short pasta like penne or fusilli.
- Canned Pineapple Chunks: Fresh pineapple chunks can be used. Just remember to adjust the sweetness as canned varieties are usually sweeter.
- Cheddar Cheese: Feel free to use other types of hard cheese like Gouda or Edam.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk: Regular milk and sugar can be a great alternative. Just be sure to adjust the sweetness to your preference.

## Serving Suggestions

This Macaroni Salad is a versatile dish that pairs well with a variety of foods. Try serving it with a side of grilled chicken or roasted vegetables. If you're in a festive mood, pairing it with Lechon, a traditional Filipino roasted ig, can make for a splendid feast. On the lighter side, a simple green salad can also complement the rich, creamy flavors of the macaroni salad.

## Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Salad

- Always remember to cool your macaroni, chicken, and carrots before combining with the rest of the ingredients. This prevents the mayonnaise and cheese from melting.
- For a twist, add some chopped hard-boiled eggs to the salad.
- If you prefer your salad sweeter, you can add more condensed milk. But remember, balance is key!
- The salad tastes better when chilled for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to blend together perfectly.
- Cook the macaroni until al-dente. Do not overcook as the pasta will end up being mushy in the salad. Avoid using wholegrain pasta as this has a completely different flavour profile which may not match this dish.
- Before boiling the chicken breast, you can pound them in the thicker parts to make it cook quicker and more evenly. This way, you will not have some uncooked portions in the thicker parts of the meat.
- Boil the carrots for a short time until they are slightly tender but not mushy. This ensures you don't have carrots that are too crunchy.
- Be sure to chill the dish before serving as it's meant to be served cold as a salad.
- Adjust the seasoning, salt and pepper, and even the condensed milk and mayonnaise to your liking. Add more mayonnaise for more sourness, condensed milk for more sweetness and of course salt.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I make this salad in advance?

Absolutely! In fact, it tastes better when prepared ahead as it allows the flavors to meld together.

### Can I freeze the Filipino Macaroni Salad?

While you can freeze it, it's best served fresh or refrigerated. Freezing may alter the texture of the ingredients, especially the mayonnaise.

### What can I do if the salad is too sweet for my taste?

You can balance out the sweetness by adding more pickle relish or a dash of vinegar.

### Can I add other fruits to the salad?

Yes! Some people like to add diced apples or grapes for a different flavor profile.

### Can I use other types of pasta for this salad?

## Ingredients

### Lime Curd

- 100 g caster/superfine or granulated sugar

3. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the cubed butter until it's fully melted and incorporated. Allow the curd to cool in the refrigerator.

### Making the Cookie Dough

2. Add the eggs, lime juice, and vanilla extract to the mixture and whisk until combined.
3. Sift in the flour, salt, and baking powder, mixing until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix.
4. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
5. Top each cookie with a dollop of the chilled lime curd.
6. Bake the cookies at 170°C for 12-15 minutes or until they turn slightly golden. Ensure they don't overbake to prevent the curd from burning.

- Lime Juice: Lemon juice can be a suitable replacement, though it will alter the flavor slightly.
- Unsalted Butter: If you only have salted butter on hand, simply omit the additional salt from the recipe.

## Tips and Tricks for the Perfect Cookie

- For an added touch, sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs on top of the cookies before baking. This gives them a hint of lime pie flavor.
- If you prefer a more vibrant green color for your lime curd, consider adding a drop or two of green food coloring.

## The Magic of Chicken Teriyaki

When it comes to tantalizing the taste buds with a blend of sweet and savory, nothing beats the magic of Chicken Teriyaki. This classic Japanese dish has found its way to the hearts (and kitchens!) of food enthusiasts worldwide. Known for its glossy finish and rich, umami-packed flavor, it's a dish that promises to transport you to the vibrant streets of Tokyo without needing a passport.

## Key Ingredients: The Backbone of the Dish

To recreate Chef RV's recipe, you'll need:

- 1 cup or 120g pineapple juice, pear or apple juice
- 1 cup or 120g soy sauce
- 1/2 cup or 50g brown sugar
- 1/2 cup or 60g oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1.5 tablespoons minced ginger
- 500g chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks
- Oil for shallow frying

Note: we are using only half the amounts that Chef RV mentioned in his video.

## Brewing the Magic: The Cooking Process

1. To make the marinade, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, vinegar, pepper, garlic, and ginger in a blender. Blend until smooth.
2. Marinate the chicken chunks with half of the marinade or just enough to soak the chicken. Marinade for up to 2 days or minimum 30 minutes before cooking.
3. Thicken the remaining sauce over a pan by boiling it for around 5 minutes. The sugar will caramelise and will slightly thicken the sauce.
4. Heat the oil and shallow fry the marinated chicken breast until golden. Alternatively, use a grill or even bake in the oven.
5. Serve with rice or egg noodles, green onions, buttered cabbage, and the thickened sauce.

## The Perfect Sidekicks: What to Serve with Chicken Teriyaki

Chicken Teriyaki shines when served with rice or egg noodles. The silky texture of the noodles or the fluffy rice soaks up the teriyaki sauce, making every bite a gastronomical delight. Pair it with some crunchy buttered cabbage and freshly chopped green onions for that extra zing.

## FAQs

### What Makes Chicken Teriyaki Tasty

Chicken Teriyaki is unique due to its distinct flavor profile that combines sweet, savory, and tangy elements in one dish. The glossy finish of the teriyaki sauce also gives it a visually appealing look.

### Can I Use Chicken Thighs Instead of Breasts?

Absolutely! In fact, chicken thighs are often juicier and more flavorful than breasts. However, they may take a bit longer to cook.

### How Long Should I Marinate the Chicken?

For the best results, marinate the chicken overnight. If you're in a hurry, a minimum of 30 minutes should do the trick.

### What If I Don't Have a Blender for the Marinade?

No problem! Simply whisk the ingredients together until they're well combined. The marinade might have a slightly chunkier texture, but it will still be delicious.

### Can I Store Leftover Chicken Teriyaki?

Yes, you can! Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat it over medium heat on the stove, adding a splash of water if necessary to thin the sauce.

## Honey Chicken Origins

Honey Lemon Chicken, sometimes also known as Honey Orange Chicken, is a dish that many of us are familiar with.

Its origins trace back to Chinese culinary traditions, but it has been embraced and adapted by food enthusiasts worldwide.

Chef RV's take on this dish is a testament to its versatility and timeless appeal.

## Ingredients

- 500 grams chicken fillet, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder (or fresh ginger, grated)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp soy sauce (Japanese Soy Sauce recommended)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, preferably crushed
- 2 T water
- 2 T cassava starch (alternatives: cornstarch or potato starch)
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup quality honey
- 2 tbsp salted butter

## Crafting the Perfect Honey Lemon Chicken

1. Begin by marinating the chicken chunks with sea salt, black pepper, soy sauce, ginger powder, water, and cassava starch. This not only infuses flavor but also ensures the chicken remains moist during cooking.
2. For an added layer of crunch, coat the marinated chicken in additional cassava starch.
3. Heat canola oil (or any non-flavored oil) to approximately 350° Fahrenheit or 180 C. If you don't have a thermometer, sprinkle a bit of flour into the oil. If it bubbles, the oil is ready.
4. Fry the chicken until golden brown around 5-7 minutes. Ensure the oil is hot enough to seal the moisture within the chicken.
5. For the sauce, melt 2 tbsp of salted butter in a pan, add honey and lemon juice, and bring to a boil.
6. Toss the fried chicken in the sauce just before serving to maintain its crunchiness.

## Serving Suggestions

Honey Lemon Chicken pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice. For a refreshing side, consider a crisp Asian-inspired salad or sautéed vegetables. Mandarin oranges can also be added for a burst of citrusy sweetness.

## Ingredient Substitutes

- Ginger Powder: Fresh ginger, grated
- Cassava Starch: Cornstarch or potato starch
- Lemon Juice: Calamansi juice or orange juice

- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to prevent the chicken from becoming greasy. If you don't have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping some cornflour into the pan. If it starts to bubble, then it's ready. Alternatively, dip a wooden spoon or chopsticks into the oil, and if it also bubbles, then it's ready.
- Always use quality honey for the best flavor and consistency.

Cassava starch is gluten-free and helps in retaining the moisture of the chicken, ensuring it remains juicy after frying.
