Cook Healthy Meals with Eureka Food Steamer

Cooking with love provides nourishment for the body and soul. I cook because I want to be healthy and live a long life. Cooking has taught me values in life like how to be more persevering.

My parents taught me how to do household chores including cooking. At an early age, I can cook rice and simple dishes. Today some of my favorite dishes to cook are Beef stew, beef estofado, chicken menudo, pork sinigang, sauteed veggie, monggo on Fridays. I also love to cook pasta dishes. But I still have to learn the secrets in perfecting Pinoy adobo and those that uses coconut like curry and the famous dish from Bicol region, laing.

This year, I wanted to spend more time in the kitchen and create new recipes. Perhaps start baking and make my own pandesal.

Cooking can be challenging but rewarding. I understand others who settle on canned food, ready-to-eat, microwaveable meals or fast food. We also eat those but not all the time knowing that canned goods are high in preservatives and sodium that's not healthy for the body. While most fast food meals are fried and too oily may cause a serious heart problem.

I make time to prepare nutritious, hearty and healthy meal for me and my husband.

I got a new 5 liter Food Steamer from Eureka. To my excitement I cooked sesame and soy steamed chicken, simple and easy to prepare recipe using a electric food steamer. Before we go to the recipe, let me share the benefits of steaming food.

My sesame soy chicken tastes good, the chicken meat is tender. Sesame Soy Chicken is best served with ginger and chili sauce. The manual says you may steam chicken for 20 minutes but I cooked sliced chicken for 40 minutes. Cooking time becomes shorter when you prevent from opening the lid. I plan to make steamed siopao and siomai for Chinese New Year 2019. Truly, Eureka makes life more comfortable by offering a wide range of home and kitchen appliances that suits our family needs.
