Chicken Barbecue (Inihaw na Manok)

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups (540 ml) banana ketchup
1 cup (240 ml) 7UP
1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup (120 ml) soy sauce
1/2 cup (120 ml) white sugarcane vinegar
1/2 cup (110 g) packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (35 g) minced garlic
3 pounds (1.4 kg) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
Cooking spray or vegetable oil, for greasing
Sawsawan
for serving

Instructions:
In a large nonreactive bowl, storage container, or Ziploc bag, mix together the banana ketchup, 7UP, lemon juice, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the chicken pieces and toss. Cover the bowl or container or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and preferably overnight.
When you are ready to cook the meat, heat a grill pan over high heat or heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium.
Reserving the marinade, thread 3 or 4 pieces of chicken on each skewer, letting the pieces touch slightly, and set them on a plate or baking sheet.
Pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes; set it aside.
Spray the pan or grill grate lightly with cooking spray. Place the skewers on the grill pan or grill and cook, turning them and basting them often with the heated marinade, until they are cooked through or the center of a piece of chicken registers 165°F (75°C) on an instant-read thermometer. This should take between 8 and 15 minutes, depending on your cooking surface. (Discard any leftover marinade.)
Transfer to a platter and serve immediately, with sawsawan.
Sinangag (Garlic Fried Rice)

Ingredients:
1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (135 g) garlic cloves, sliced paper thin
4 cups (800 g) freshly cooked jasmine rice, kept hot
Kosher salt
2 to 4 large eggs
fried or sunny-side up

Instructions:
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Line a plate with paper towels and set it nearby.
Carefully pour the garlic into the hot oil and stir continuously until the garlic is just beginning to lightly brown. Remove the pan from the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried garlic onto the paper towel–lined plate; reserve the oil. Set both the garlic and the oil aside while you make the rice. (You can store the garlic chips and oil in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to a week.)
Fluff the hot rice with a fork and toss it with 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the garlic oil and 1/2 cup (40 g) of the fried garlic chips. (You will have leftover oil and chips for more rice; or try them on the pansits and soups.)
Season the rice with salt and serve right away or at room temperature, with the eggs, if desired.
Eggplant Omelet (Tortang Talong)

Ingredients:
2 large Asian eggplants (about 1/3 pound/155 g each)
2 extra-large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons picked cooked crabmeat (optional)
Fish sauce
for serving

Instructions:
Preheat the broiler.
Lay the eggplants in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil them, flipping once or twice, until they are soft and blackened on all sides, about 15 minutes. (If you have a gas stove, you can do this by holding the eggplants with tongs over a burner on medium-high heat, turning them so they blacken on all sides.)
Place the softened eggplants in a ziplock bag. Set aside for 10 minutes to steam (this makes the skin easier to peel). Peel the eggplants, discarding the skins, and use a fork to gently flatten the flesh.
Put the eggs in a shallow bowl. Beat well and season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Dip each eggplant in the beaten eggs, letting it soak for a second or two so that it is well covered with the egg. Season the egg-dipped eggplant with additional salt and pepper and place it in the skillet. Repeat with the other eggplant, making sure there’s room between them in the skillet. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab (if using) on top of each eggplant, pressing it down with a fork.
When the eggplants are crispy and browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes, flip them over and cook until browned and crispy on the second side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the eggplants to a paper towel–lined plate to drain.
Serve hot or at room temperature, with fish sauce.

Instructions:
Soak the mushrooms in the warm water for at least 20 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, reserve the soaking liquid, and thinly slice the mushrooms. Combine the adobo and wine (if using) in a bowl.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the garlic and stir-fry until light gold. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes, or until translucent. Stir in the celery and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add the adobo. If you are using fresh shrimp, add them, too. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Big Apple Crumble Cupcakes

Ingredients:
3 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons cold butter, diced into small cubes
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1/3 cup hot water
2 1/2 cups freshly grated apples (4 to 5 medium apples)
16 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon whole milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients, and mix together using your fingertips. Spread the crumb mixture on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 30 minutes or until the crumble reaches a golden brown color. Let cool and set aside. Leave the oven on to bake the cupcakes.
Line a cupcake pan with twelve paper baking cups and a second pan with six baking cups.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing slowly after each addition.
Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then gradually add one third of the hot water, beating slowly until well incorporated. Add another third of the flour mixture, followed by a third of the hot water. Add the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining hot water, and beat just until combined. Stop to scrape down the bowl as needed.
Using a spatula, fold the grated apple and half of the apple crumble mixture into the batter.
Using a standard-size ice cream scoop, fill each baking cup so that it is two-thirds full. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes (start checking at 15 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. After 5 minutes, transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely for approximately 20 minutes.
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer. Beat until the frosting is light and airy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Frost each cupcake with a signature swirl (see below), and top with a sprinkling of the remaining apple crumble.
Oatmeal Cookie Energy Bites

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 2/3 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup raisins, 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir until well mixed.
Roll into 18 bite-size balls with wet hands to keep the mixture from sticking to you (or use a melon scooper to help). Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Vinegar Chicken with Alabama White Sauce

Ingredients:
2 cups distilled white vinegar
1 cup sunflower oil, plus more for frying
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
10 dashes of Tabasco chipotle pepper sauce
1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), cut into 4 pieces (2 whole breasts and 2 whole legs)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
In a blender, combine the vinegar, 1 cup of the oil, salt, cayenne, chipotle pepper sauce, smoked paprika, black pepper, and garlic and blend until smooth. (Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to blend the marinade.) Pour the marinade into a gallon-size plastic bag and toss in the chicken pieces. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for 12 hours.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.
Pour 1/4 inch of oil into a large ovenproof skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, arrange the chicken in the skillet, skin side down. The chicken should fit snugly in one layer. Loosely place a square of parchment on top of the chicken and weight the chicken down with a medium ovenproof skillet or heavy pot. Allow the chicken to cook under the weight of the skillet undisturbed for 20 minutes.
Take the skillet off the heat and carefully (it will be hot!) remove the top skillet (or heavy pot, if using). Flip the chicken, transfer the skillet to the oven, and roast until thethickest part of the thigh registers 165°F, 25 to 30 minutes.
In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, and pepper. The white sauce should be thin and runny. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. You can keep any leftover sauce in the fridge for one week.
Let the roasted chicken rest for 5 minutes. Arrange it on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.
Honey-Roasted Vegetable Salad

Ingredients:
750g (1 lb 10 oz) pumpkin (you can choose which type)
1 small head cauliflower (600g)
1 bunch baby heirloom carrots (400g)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey (to sweeten the deal!)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
4 cups (100g) baby spinach leaves
1 cup mint leaves (optional)
1/2 cup (140g) natural Greek-style yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large roasting pan with non-stick baking paper.
Using a sharp knife (and a grown-up to help you), carefully peel and chop the pumpkin into 2cm pieces, discarding the seeds. Trim and cut the cauliflower into florets (halving any large ones). Trim and gently scrub the carrots.
Place the vegetables in the prepared pan and drizzle with the oil and honey. Sprinkle with the cumin, salt and pepper and toss to combine, using tongs. Roast for 25–30 minutes or until the vegies are tender and golden. With oven gloves on, remove the pan from the oven. Add the spinach and mint and toss through the warm vegetables, using tongs. You can transfer everything to a salad bowl now, if you like.
Place the yogurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Mix with a spoon and drizzle over the salad to serve.
