Who's That Girl
- Create. Snap. Eat.
- WHO'S THAT GIRL: A higher education obsessed foodie who is documenting her life in the kitchen. I love to cook delicious, gourmet-style foods for those I love and always welcome a challenge in the kitchen. With that challenge comes an impromptu nature. I tend to avoid following recipes to the exact, so you are not likely to find very many posted here. Being that I am a Libra and am learning to be free in the kitchen, the story always goes, "A pinch of this and a smattering of that!" Thank you for visiting -- and happy reading!

Chinese Five Spice Chicken
I am falling in love with Chinese Five Spice.
It is simply a merger of some combination of cinnamon, cloves, cumin, black pepper, fennel, ginger, turmeric and anise and pulls out the depth in dishes.
Here, I used an ample amount of the powder on chicken thighs and soaked them in Braggs with some fish sauce. I roasted these in the oven for about 45 minutes before plating the chicken with a stir fry of mushrooms, bean sprouts, spinach, scallions, garlic, sugar snap peas and chili sauce.
A few dots of Sriracha and you have a meal.
