STEAM CHICKEN RECIPE

Did you experience laziness in the kitchen.? 

Yung tipong napapagod ka na maggayat ng mga rekado, yung tipong hindi mo alam kung ano ang lulutuin mo kahit marami naman ingredients ang nasa harap mo.?

Me, I feel that already today. I feel bored, I don't want to think on what's am I gonna cook and I don't have enough ingredients because I did not go to the market. I look at our refrigerator and chicken na lang ang laman ng freezer. What I am gonna do? Isip, isip, isip....! I have bokchoy and onion leeks. The super easy that comes first to my mind is to steam the chicken, because it doesn't need so much ingredients.

Kaya magluto na tayo at gutom na ako.

Notes: My cooking does not have exact measurements of ingredients, kumbaga tantiya tantiya lang ng naaayon sa aking panlasa.
