CHICKEN WITH GINGERI think my mom feels bad having to feed me ginger every single day with her confinement recipes lol! She told me that she’s also sick of cooking with ginger ha! I have consumed 4 lbs (2 kilos) of ginger in one-week period. wow! That’s a record-breaking for me at least. Hubby just bought another 4 lbs. Lord has mercy! ;b

This recipe of chicken with ginger tasted pretty good however. I don’t know if I was too hungry or what. I supposed the ginger being fried until it’s crispy actually add some crunch to the whole dish.

Congratulation to you and family with your new addition! What a beautiful family you’ve got there! I’ve lost the link to your website and I’ve been searching ups and down, here and there to find but to no avail. I’ve got 2 sis in laws that given birth and want to send them your page… Well they are done and over with the confinement period by now as I just found all my lost saved website today….lol… Congratulation again!

Hi Ellie,

I’m very happy to hear that it turned out well for you. I like this chicken with ginger too. It does suck when you have to do your own confinement, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Thanks for stopping by and congratulation btw 🙂
