Himalayan Crystal Salt

This is the salt I have been using for more than a year now. It has 84 natural minerals and elements in the human body. It is one of the healthiest salt that you can use for cooking.



Chicken Risotto with Veggies


You need:

Risotto rice
Chicken
Spinach
Carrots
Broccoli
Onion

Salt ( I used Himalayan crystal salt)
Soy sauce ( I used Tamari soy sauce)
Parmesan cheese


-Boil some water in a sauce pan and add a tablespoon of soy sauce 
-Add carrots when it starts boiling
- Saute onion in olive oil and add chicken once onion is translucent.
-Add risotto rice and once it absorbed the oil you can now start adding the soy sauce from the pan
- When the rice is almost cooked add the broccoli. 
-Don't forget to keep adding more sauce to cook the rice
-Take the carrots from the boiling sauce and add it in the rice. You may also want to add the spinach this time.
-Add salt and taste.
-Turn off the stove once the rice is cooked and it is well seasoned. Make sure not to add too much salt because you still have to add the parmesan cheese.
-Add parmesan cheese and serve while it's hot.

Laing in Can?


Taro leaves cooked in coconut milk, coconut cream, pork, shrimp, chilli, ginger, onion, garlic, jalapeno pepper, salt and other special ingredients is called "Laing" in the Philippines. Other regions in the Philippines have their own way of cooking this. Whatever style it is, Laing is one of my favourite Filipino dishes.

Here at the Central Coast, NSW (Australia) where I live taro leaves is not available in the market, supermarket or even in the Asian store near us. I may have seen a frozen taro leaves for “laing” stored in the freezer in the Filipino store here but I guess I prefer the fresh leaves.

I missed “laing” that when I saw this in can I decided to try it. Well, as soon as I open the can I right away smell the preservatives. What am I thinking? Of course it has to have loads of preservatives! I didn’t enjoy it. Oh well, at least I’ve tried it.
