Chines - Style Rice with Fried Egg

This stuff could be vegan, but I had a piece of chicken breast at home and I addedit, it can no longer be called vegan. And it could be one pan, if I had cooked the egg in the rice, but I fry it separately, so it's not one pan. And that's why it's Chinese because it contains soy sauce and hoisin sauce.

Ingredients (for 4 person): 4pcs Egg, 200g Chicken Breast, 320g Peas, 2pcs Brown Onion, 300g Flat white Mushrooms, 2pcs Garlic Clove, 1tbsp Ginger Paste, 2tsp Hoisin Sauce, 1tbsp Soy Sauce, 1cup (200ml) Basmati Rice.

Heat olive oil in a non - stick pan, add the brown onion cut into strips and chicken breast cut into strips and fry. If it is browned, add the sliced mushrooms together with a knob of butter and fry for another 5 - 6min. When the mushrooms have softened, add the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger paste, green peas, and simmer covered at a low temperature for 15 - 20min. Meanwhile, heat a little olive oil in a pan. When hot, crack eggs, add salt and fry to the desired consistency. End when eating, you can add cream fresh, sour cream or mayonnaise and garlic sauce.

Buffalo Chicken Thigh with Roasted Lettuce

I wrote earlier that I like foods that are salty and sweet at the same time. This is also such a dish for those who prefer this type of food. 

Ingredients ( for 4 person ): 700g Skinless Chicken Thighs, 1tsp Dijon Mustard, 4tbsp Cider Vinegar, 8tbsp Cornflour, 2pcs Garlic Clove, 2pcs Lettuce, 4tbsp Yoghurt.2tbsp Sriracha Hot Chilli Sauce, Chives - to taste. 

80g of butter were melted in a saucepan at a low temperature. When the butter is melted, bring to boil on high, add the sriracha sauce, cider vinegar, season with salt, ground pepper  and sugar, and cook until thickened.  Cut the chicken thighs fillets into medium pieces and season with salt and ground pepper, then roll in the cornflour and fry in a hot pan with a little olive oil. The meat is good when it is cooked to a nice golden brown. When the meat is ready, pour the buffalo sauce, over it and fry it until it becomes sticky. We take off the outer leaves of the lettuce, because we will only need the bright inner part. Cut into 4 pieces, sprinkle with a little olive oil, then fry in a hot pan until brown. Mix the yoghurt, mustard and grated garlic in a bowl, season with salt and ground pepper and add the chopped chives, and drizzle it over the roasted lettuce. 

Express Cicken Pizza

That's why I call it express pizza, because it's ready in a flash. I bought the pizza base at the store and just mixed the tomato sauce cold.

Ingredients ( for 4 person ): 500gr Chicken Breast, 2tsp Chipotle Pasta, 2pcs Garlic Clove, 2pcs Green Pepper, 2tsp Ground Smoked Paprika, 250gr Mozzarella, 2tbsp Tomato Paste, 4pcs Baked Pizza Bases, 

Cut the chicken breast and green paprika into thin strips. Heat a pan with 2tbsp of olive oil. When it's hot, add the meat and paprika, season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, then fry for 10 - 12min, or until the paprika starts to soften. In a bowl mix the tomato paste and chipotle paste with the smoked paprika and the crushed garlic. season with salt, ground black pepper, and sugar, add 10tbsp of cold water and mix. Dry the mozzarella with kitchen paper and divide it into 4 parts. Make sure to dry all the moisture from the mozzarella, because if it is very wet it will make the pizza soggy. Put the pizza bases in a baking tray, spread them with tomato sauce, put the fried chicken breast and green paprika on top, and put the mozzarella on top. Bake the pizza in an oven preheated to 200C for 20min or until the meat and mozzarella are golden brown.

Chicken Milanese and Spaghetti Pomodoro

We love these tomato based dishes. And if there is fried meat with it, then we like it even more. I made this once, a long time ago, and it was posted on my old Hungarian blog. I made it then because of an important event, which I have cooked several times since then, even on weekdays. But it has remained a festive dish ever since.

Ingredients ( for 4 person): 500 gr Chicken Breast Fillets, 20gr Chicken Stock, 2tsp Dried Oregano, $pcs Smoked Garlic Cloves, 60gr Italian Cheese,120gr Panko Breadcrumbs, 400gr Spaghetti, 100gr Tomato Paste, 100gr Smoked Bacon, Salt, Ground Black Pepper and Ketchup - To Taste.

If necessary, dry the chicken breast fillet with a kitchen paper, and knock it out with a rolling pin. Then roll in flour, eggs and panko breadcrumbs. I like to fry the fried meat in an oil fryer, but if you don't like frying in a lot of oil, you can also fry it in the oven or in a pan with a little olive oil. Cook the spaghetti in boiling, lightly salted water for 8 - 10 min. Once done, drain, the pasta, reserving a cup of the starchy pasta water. Dissolve the chicken stock and tomato paste in 200ml boiled water. add the dried oregano, a pinch of  sugar and generous pinch of salt and pepper, and stir it all together. Heat a large pan, to a medium high heat, and add the diced smoked bacon and fry until crispy. If it crispy, add the smoked chopped garlic, and fry for 1 - 2 min. Add the tomato stock and reserving  pasta water, season, salt, pepper  and ketchup, and cook until the sauce thickens. If it feels sour, you can season  with sugar and ketchup.

Chicken and Cheese Vegetable Pasta

Creamy Potato Salad with Fried Chicken Wings

 The family's favorite dinner.

Important to note that these quantities in the ingredients are informative. I cook for 4 of us.

Ingredients: 1kg Chicken Wings, 1kg Salad Potatoes, 5pcs Eggs, 2pcs Red Onions, 150gr Soured Cream, 100g Mayonnaise, 1tsp Yellow Mustard, Salt, Ground Pepper, Lemon Juice or Lime Juice - according to taste.

Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until soft. When its done, drain the water and let it cool. Hard-boil the eggs in slightly salted water. This is approx. 10 minutes. When its ready, pour the hot water over it and let it cool with the same amount of cold water. When the potatoes and eggs have cooled down, peel them end set aside. Peel the red onions too and cut them into thin slices. For the salad dressing, put the mayonnaise and soured cream in a larger bowl - it should be the same bowl in which the salad is prepared. Add the mustard, lime, or lemon juice, season with salt, ground pepper, sugar and mix well(Its worth tasting while you are mixing them, you may need to add more seasoning). The point is to mix the dressing to taste. Then add the diced egg, the sliced potatoes and the onions. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve. There is no recipe for breading chicken wings. In general, everyone can bread meat and everyone prepares in their own way. Cut off the ends of the chicken wings, then wash the wings. Wipe dry with a paper towel and salt them thoroughly. Put about 2 handful of flour in a plate, beat 2 eggs in another plate, add some salt and milk, than mix them. Add about 4-5 handfuls of panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Roll the chicken wings first in the flour, than in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs(make sure that the crumbs cover the chicken wings everywhere). I usually fry the chicken wings in an oil fryer at an oil temperature of 150C(approx.) for 13-15 minutes. But it can be done in a pan, in a plenty of oil. You can even bake them in the oven.
