This is an upgrade for the humble tuyo that I, like most Filipinos love to eat for breakfast. It’s usually part of that silog meal (sinangag +itlog) garlic fried rice and egg. We didn’t have bottled tuyo in olive oil when I was growing up. Thank you so much for whoever thought of bottling tuyo […]
This has become one of my favorite dishes to cook regularly. It’s super simple yet really delicious and..easy to make! Everyone in the family loves it. I have this Takara plum sake white wine, that I got as a gift; it has a sweet aroma similar to mirin so I thought of using it for […]
Fish fillet with mandarin orange Sauce is a kind of a signature dish of my sister-in-law; she’s known for it amongst her friends and relatives-whenever they’re having guests for dinner, this is always present on the table. I asked her for the recipe and permission to share here and she’s gracious enough to agree. But […]
This is my first time to make this dish and quite surprise that it’s easy to make considering how delicious it is- hot and spicy-delicious!! I’ve added this to my favorites. ü This will be included in the simple Chinese New Year dinner that I’m planning – we’re not really Chinese, I just want to […]
I used to hate this dish when I was young, I didn’t like the taste of fermented black beans and the milk fish has too many fine bones that makes it difficult to eat. My mother, she used to make it regularly- no matter how much complaining/whining I did- hoping that I will eventually like […]
Gumbo is a Creole/ Cajun dish of stewed okra often with meat or seafood. This is a very simple and easy version of that dish. Cooking gumbo starts with making roux, which is oil and flour cooked into a paste to thicken the stew. To make stews really delicious, the key is slow and long […]
Daing is a general term for curing and preserving fish with salt and vinegar. The fish is butterflied and is either marinated or salted and sun-dried ( Kulinarya, p.106). Daing is usually eaten at breakfast with fried egg, garlic fried rice, chopped tomatoes, atchara (pickled young papaya) and vinegar for dipping…Mmmm! If you haven’t tried […]
My family is not a big fan of fish, if we do have fish it’s most likely pan fried with lots of sauce or steamed, ( Chinese style, oh so good!) but I still like to cook fish and collect recipes of it and this one‘s caught my interest. I’ve never heard of fish oreganata […]
This is from Nigella’s cookalong a few months back. I like trying out her recipes, this is one of the many that I want to share here. I really like curry and squash is one of my favorite veg, and unlike other veggies, I don’t mind if it’s over-cooked ’cause I like it soft and […]
One of my favorite way to cook fish fillet because it’s easy, quick and spicy-delicious! I make the consistency of the sauce slightly thick and creamy that it coats the fish just like a gravy . We like to pour the sauce on the rice too…yum! 🙂 This goes well with short grain rice, the […]
This is a Thai dish..it’s hot and spicy with a little tang courtesy of the tamarind paste- I have a jar of it that I seldom use and it comes in handy for this fish recipe. Whole fish can be used for this dish, I would have used it but my family wants fillet of […]
I got this recipe from the back label of a can of Del Monte sliced pineapple . I had it with me for a long time along with other collected recipes from that I cut out from magazines and jotted down from cooking shows on TV ( this was before internet era). It was very nostalgic […]
