!±8± Quick and Simple Chicken Teriyaki Recipe

Chicken Teriyaki is one of the signature dishes of Japanese cuisine and is one of the most popular dish ordered in Japanese restaurants in all parts of the word. Teriyaki is actually a glaze which is applied to the meat just before it is grilled. Traditional the teriyaki sauce is a combination of Soy Sauce, Sake and Mirin. Check out the simple Chicken Teriyaki Recipe that you could try out at home.

Make sure that you have all these ingredients ready in your kitchen so that this could make the cooking process much easier and faster.

Ingredients for Chicken Teriyaki

3 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar 1 tablespoon corn oil 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 2 boneless chicken breast halves (about 10 ounces)

Directions for making delicious Chicken Teriyaki

Take a mid-size bowl and mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, ginger, garlic powder and black pepper together You will then need to slice the chicken into strips. You can then add the chicken to the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for atleast 2-3 hours so the flavours can penetrate the chicken. If you don't have that much time you could also consider marinating the chicken for a shorter time period - say about 15-30 minutes, but then it will not be as delicious as the one prepared with a longer marination period. Preheat the broiler. Make sure the top oven rack is in the highest position, just under the broiling unit. If you have metal or bamboo skewers, thread the chicken strips onto the skewers and lay the skewers on a baking sheet. If you don't have skewers, place the chicken in a single layer on the baking sheet. Discard the marinade. Broil the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until it is completely white and is just beginning to turn brown. Skewers make the turning-over process go faster. Serve immediately.

The beauty of this dish is in the delicate and distinct flavour of the sauce and the way it blends with the chicken. Teriyaki Sauce is definitely one of the most loved contributions of Japanese cuisine and it sure is on the top of my list whenever I think of Japanese food. As with most such food though, the key is in the marination. The longer you marinate, the better will be the absorption of the flavours by the meat. If you are short on time then you can perhaps shorten the marination time, but then you might have to compromise a little on the taste.

Delicious Caribbean Food Recipes: Cayman Style

!±8± Delicious Caribbean Food Recipes: Cayman Style

Caribbean food recipes are very interesting to me because they are usually a blend of European, African and Asian ingredients. Caribbean food history is intricately linked to the slave trade, and as a result, many foods were transplanted to the Caribbean Islands for the African slaves. With time, slavery was abolished, and instead, indentured servants from India and China were transported to the Caribbeans for additional labor. The end result is that many traditional Caribbean foods have influences from countries all over the world.

A typical West Indian dish may include steamed fish with rice and beans. The side dishes may include callaloo, fritters, or breadfruit. Of course the fish comes from the warm waters of the Caribbean sea. However, the rice is originally from China, the red kidney beans are from South America, the callaloo is originally from west Africa, fritters are made with flour from the Middle East, and breadfruit is originally from the Pacific Islands.

Steamed fish
The main thing I like about traditional Cayman food is its freshness. When I have steamed fish at a local Kitchen, it has literally been caught that morning, lightly seasoned, and prepared to perfection. My husband and I were regulars at the Heritage Kitchen when we lived in West Bay. The food is delicious, but always in short supply. If you didn't arrive just when the restaurant opened, you would likely not be able to order their fresh catch of the day. To prepare steamed fish, wash the fish in lime and then season it with salt and pepper to your taste. Heat coconut oil in a pan. Add the fish and cook it on both sides until it is golden brown. Add a sliced onion, a little water, and seasoning pepper. Cook on low heat for a few minutes until done.

Rice and Beans
Probably the first traditional Grand Cayman food I had was Rice and Beans. This is a dish that I originally tasted at one of the many local Grand Cayman restaurants and kitchens. Usually, Caribbean cooks like to play around with this dish until they make it their own creation. I've had it many different ways, but I think the best recipe is Rice and Beans - Cayman Style. To start, soak the beans overnight. Cook the beans until they are tender (about an hour). Drain the beans and save the bean water, it should be about 3 cups. You may need to add more water to get to 3 cups. In another pot, boil previously saved bean water, salt, black pepper, thyme, onion, and seasoning pepper. Add previously boiled beans and coconut milk and let everything come to a boil. Add the rice. Make sure there is about 1/2 inch of water over the rice and beans. When the pot starts to boil again, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until all of the water is absorbed.

Breadfruit
This is a dish that I've only had in my home. My adventurous husband became curious about breadfruit and asked one of his Jamaican clients how to prepare it. It turned out to be very simple. First place the whole breadfruit in the oven for about an hour. This step is necessary so that you can easily cut the fruit. At this point you can eat the fruit by itself, soak it in butter, or eat it as a side dish to a meal. Another option, is to fry it up for just a couple of minutes on top of the stove. This is what we did the the result was scrumptious. After frying, it tastes a bit like potato, but with an interesting texture.

These traditional Caribbean food recipes are delicious and easy to make. If you use all fresh ingredients, then you are assured of a tasty Caribbean meal that you can easily make in your own home. If you are here visiting the Cayman Islands, I highly recommend one of the many local restaurants and Kitchens. Each one has its own specialty that will have you going back for more.

If you owned a pet during the 2007 pet food recall, you understand all too well why so many people are making their own dog food these days. And it is not hard to do or as expensive as you may think.

Why preparing your dog's food at home could be a better choice:

Most of us strive to provide the very best for our dogs. We make sure they get plenty of exercise, training, love and attention, tend to their medical needs, keep them safe, and believe to be feeding them pet food that is nutritious and wholesome. But are we? Commercial dog foods use preservatives, dyes, chemicals, fillers, animal by-products, corn, soy, additives, artificial flavors, and so on. And it is these ingredients, as well as some others, which are making our pets sick and slowly killing them. Pet food companies might have great ad campaigns depicting a yummy wholesome meal for our dogs, but have you read the ingredients?

This is why so many people have decided to take matters in their own hands. It's the best way to know what goes into your dog's food. By preparing homemade dog food recipes right in our own kitchens, we know we are feeding our dogs fresh foods and ingredients, without the use of preservatives, artificial ingredients, or any other contaminates that can harm our dogs.

Preparing homemade meals for your dog is easy and fast:

If you don't think you have time to cook for your pet, think again. It's super easy to do and you can make a big batch of food, separate daily food portions into freezer bags, and then thaw out as needed. Just be sure you use fresh vegetables or frozen - never canned vegetables.

Chicken Dinner Recipe for Dogs
2 pounds of boiled chicken meat finely chopped (no skin or bones) 1 cup cooked carrots finely chopped 6 potatoes boiled, peeled, and mashed 1 cup of cooked lentils 2 cups of fresh green beans steamed and chopped (or use frozen)

Finely chop and mash together cooked vegetables or simply mix them all together in a food processor. Then stir in the chopped chicken and separate portions into freezer bags until ready to use.

More homemade dog food recipes: You can come up with lots of recipes by using some other ingredients like turkey, brown rice, oats, potatoes, carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, green beans, squash, and peas.

Avoid using the following grains as they have been linked to food allergies: wheat, corn, and soy.

Final tips: Always consult your veterinarian about the nutritional requirements for your dog. Be sure to provide a variety of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. Familiarize yourself with the foods that are not safe for dogs to eat (chocolate, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins, onions, citrus fruits, cold cuts, mushrooms, fatty foods, and cooked bones). Also, when changing your dog's diet, go slow. Too quick of a change can upset their digestive tract causing diarrhea.

Our dogs depend on us to care for their health and safety. Be a responsible dog owner. Get all the facts about feeding your dog and then make an informed decision. Don't take for granted that the commercial dog food you are feeding your treasured friend is healthy because of their fancy ad campaigns.

Always consult your veterinarian before making drastic changes to your dog's diet. Any current health issues, breed, and life stages will play a part in determining the nutritional needs of your dog.
