AUNTIE VILA'S SAMOAN CURRY CHICKEN STEW RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Heat your oil in a large pot, then fry the onion until partly translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and curry powder and fry for about a minute for the spices and aromatics to release their flavor.

Turn down heat and cover again. Simmer for 20 minutes or until soft.

Turn the heat up to medium and stir until thickened. Season well with salt and pepper to taste.

AUNTIE VILA'S KEKE PUA'A (SAMOAN STEAMED PORK BUNS) RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Proof the yeast with the water and first measure of sugar until it is frothy. Then add it and the rest of the ingredients to your bread machine (or mix and knead by hand). Meanwhile, mince the pork and sauté in a little olive oil with the onions. Add the garlic and soy sauce towards the end of cooking. Set aside and let cool. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and punch down. Divide into 8 parts and flatten each one with the palm of your hand. Spoon a little bit of the filling into the center of each circle, then pull up the edges of the dough and twist to seal. Make sure the filling is completely contained by the dough. Repeat until you have eight little packets. Let the dough rise for another 45 minutes. Place the packets into a vegetable steamer and steam for 15 minutes (note: they puff up a lot, so you may need to do this in small batches).

CURRY CHICKEN STEW

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients. Place chicken, green pepper and onion in a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker; pour broth mixture over top. Cook, covered, on low until chicken and vegetables are tender, 4-5 hours., Remove chicken and cool slightly. Cut or shred meat into bite-size pieces and return to slow cooker; heat through. Serve with rice. If desired, top with cilantro and chutney.

KALE MOA (SAMOAN CHICKEN CURRY)

Steps:

• 1. In a large pot, preferably a stock pot, over medium heat, add your oil and onion. Saute the onion until it is almost translucent.
• 2. Add in the garlic, ginger, and curry powder. Saute everything in the pot until these become aromatic.
• 3. Add in chicken pieces, 2 cups of water, and 2 cups of coconut milk. (If you're using canned coconut milk, be sure to also use the thick cream on top for a nice, rich, and thick sauce for your kale.) Bring the pot to a boil, then turn heat down to low simmer, and cover. Simmer about 20 minutes.
• 4. Add in vegetables, stir. Bring the kale up to a boil once more, then back down to a low simmer, covered. Simmer for about another 20 or so minutes until carrots or potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
• 5. Mix together the remaining 6 Tbsp of water with 6 Tbsp of flour to make a quick slurry. (At the point, if you think it could use more heat, feel free to add more curry powder.) Add this to the pot, turning the heat back up to medium, and stirring until thickened. Season well with salt and pepper. Serve with rice.

ADRIEL'S CHINESE CURRY CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl, mash the yellow curry paste with about 2 tablespoons of chicken broth to help dissolve the paste; whisk in remaining chicken broth, sugar, curry powder, salt, light soy sauce, and coconut milk. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat for about 30 seconds; pour in the oil. Let the oil heat until shimmering, about 30 more seconds. Stir the chicken, garlic, and ginger into the hot oil; cook and stir until the chicken has begun to brown and the garlic and ginger are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion and potatoes, toss all ingredients in the hot oil, and pour in the sauce mixture. Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce heat, and cover the wok. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

SAMOAN BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Mix the soy sauce and water first. 2. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved 3. Add the onions, garlic and ginger root. 4. Marinate chicken, the longer you let it soak, the better. 5. BBQ it (all our Samoan and Tongan friends only use charcoal - gas doesn't give it the right flavor). We pull each piece out dripping wet and baste the others that are on the grill already as you put the new one on. Repeat for all pieces. Flip them often - you're not looking for blackened or dry, just bouncy, juicy meat.
