Since my high school cooking and baking classes, I’ve never really attempted cooking at home, except for the few instances when I’ve made garlic rice, fried chicken, and helped to make arroz caldo. But after living in China for 2 years, with one year of that living on my own, I’ve made a couple of attempts to make dishes for friends besides opening canned or frozen food.
This is my first cooking-related or recipe-related entry on my blog, I never expected to put anything like this up on my blog because my sister is more of a cook than me..so yay for me!
A few days ago my maid made her version of mashed potatoes which I loooove, and it just got me thinking about all the times I’ve thought to myself to make gravy, which I haven’t actually acted upon. And since I’ve been watching a lot of cooking channels in the last couple of days, I decided to act on a spur-of-the-moment urge to make gravy. But just to be sure, as I knew my family had a go at the mashed potatoes and I didn’t know if any was left, I asked what she was making for dinner and she said something along the lines of fried chicken. And of course, fried chicken can also be complemented by gravy so I said to myself, why not go and make gravy!
That is how I stumbled upon the recipe I’ll be outlining below.
I’m not sure if most of you know, but the KFC gravy is a secret recipe whose ingredients are a myssssssssstery. I watched a history feature on it a few months back, and it is indeed a secret. But that hasn’t stopped people from attempting to recreate the recipe, or at least something similar to it and just as delicious.
I decided to use Panlasang Pinoy’s KFC-style Gravy Recipe instead of the gravy recipe I used back in my high school cooking class. I didn’t have a couple of the other ingredients so I drove to a nearby grocery to get a couple of the things I was missing.
Thanks Vanjo for this amazing recipe! I really enjoyed making this and adding this to tonight’s viand (ulam).
This is quite an easy recipe so for cooking beginners, do not worry.
