My Filipino Mom taught me how to make this traditional dish following the recipe her mother taught her. And though I've made a couple of changes, I guarantee they're Mom-approved. 'Lolah' is 'Grandma' in the Philippines, in case you were wondering. Serve over steamed rice.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 pounds boneless , skinless chicken thighs, rinsed and patted dry
- 6 cloves garlic , peeled and thinly sliced
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 0.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons pickling spice , wrapped in cheesecloth
Instructions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat until oil is shimmering. Cook garlic in oil for no more than 30 seconds. Add all of the chicken to the pot; cook, stirring frequently, until chicken is white all over. Do not brown.

2
Pour in soy sauce, vinegar, and water, and add the pickling spice. Make sure the spice ball is submerged. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, and place lid on pot so that some steam can escape. Simmer for 1 hour, or until chicken is very tender.

Pumpkin Walnut Bread
I got this pumpkin walnut bread recipe from a coworker years ago at a company potluck. It's goof proof — even kids can make it! Add fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a great summer dessert. I give these loaves as gifts at Christmas too, just add a bow and voilà!
Happy Hour Mushrooms
A staple at our house for years. Easy enough for Sunday football but tasty enough for a dinner party.
Frozen Pumpkin Pie
This wonderful new twist to the traditional pumpkin pie has vanilla ice cream in the bottom and is lined with a gingersnap crust! Cool and refreshing! Garnish each slice with a dollop of whipped topping and some crushed gingersnaps if you like.
