Oven Baked Five Spice Chicken

This recipe was inspired by the roasted chicken rice recipe from seasaltwithfood. Of course I did not have the patience and endurance to make such an elaborate meal so I decided to improvise a little bit.The chicken should be marinated for at least 2 hours. I omitted the ginger juice from the recipe of seasaltwithfood as I did not have enough but I am sure that would be a great addition to the chicken!

Recipe:
5 pieces of drumstick/approx 1.25 lbs of chicken.Slit the meat on the drumstick to allow for marinade to absorb.
For Marinade: 

1 clove of finely minced garlic
1/2 tsp of five spice powder
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp water
2 tsp honey


1.Mix the marinade in a bowl.
2. Marinade the chicken in a zip lock bag for at least two hours. Turn it often to make sure the whole surface of the chicken is covered in marinade
3. Set oven to 375 F. Line aluminum foil in a baking tray and place chicken in the oven. Save some marinade in a bowl for basting.
4. Bake for approximately 45 minutes occasionally basting and turning it until golden brown

Korean Stir Fry Fish Cake

Picture represents half the portion of the recipe below

If there is one thing I would not stop eating, it would be fish cakes! I love going to Korean restaurants where they serve fish cake as their banchan.It is sometimes mixed in spicy chili bean paste sauce or stir fried in sweet sauce.Korean fish cakes are usually sold frozen here. Before cooking it you can thaw it in your fridge for a short while or just take it out straight from the freezer.

Ingredients: 
3 sheets of sliced Korean fish cake
1 small onion thinly sliced
Spring onions for garnishing
Some sesame seeds
Ingredients for sauce: 
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
2 cloves of minced garlic
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 tsp sesame oil 

Directions
1. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together. Taste it  first and adjust according to your liking.
2. Heat oil in a frying pan and stir in the onions until it's translucent
3. Add in the fish cake and cook it till it softens (make sure you don't overcook it or it will be too soft)
4. Pour in sauce, put the lid on and let it simmer on low till sauce thickens a bit
5. Dish it up, add in the spring onions and sesame seeds.

Enjoy!!!
