By the way you can use pork or any meat that you want, we used skinless chicken for a change. Maybe we want to reduce a bit of fat in our cooking, to make it healthier for sometimes. My sister who works at Nestle, packed a bag of Magic Meals and other Maggi seasoning, from my vacation in the Philippines last July. I didn't try any of this since the day I cameback.

'Till one day, we were so busy. We had to do a shoot for our next upload, the scheduled recipe is Espasol. It's 11:30 am, lunch is not ready yet and we had to leave the house for work at around 1:00 pm. I grabbed one of the pack and read the instruction, in 45 minutes I had my hot rice and Apritada. We choose Bicol Express for our featured recipe today, we did some changes to make it more flavourful. The cooking time are much the same as the pocket, the only changes is sautéing and cooking must be done separately from the rice. We sautéed garlic and onion then brown the chicken.

After sautéing, we added the sliced winged beans or sigarilyas. Stir frying for a few minutes, before adding the Bicol Express powder from the pack. Add water and cover, simmer until the chicken is tender. Add Magic Sarap and seasoned with fish sauce.  We had our lunch as fast as we didn't expected, the outcome was so delicious. The taste of the sautéed fresh garlic, onion and browning the chicken was so good. Do not add any chilli, it comes with  the hot spice that you are going to love. We highly recommended this to all new in cooking and busy moms, cooking  the convenient way of our native dishes.
