Vegan Curry Musubis
š±āØ Savory, handheld, and perfect for sharing! Picnics are kind of my thingāespecially when they involve rice balls in all shapes and forms. For the past few years, Iāve been making an ever-rotating assortment inspired by this hanami-style picnic spread from Constellation Inspiration. These Vegan Curry Musubis are one of my go-tos: easy to prepare… Continue reading Vegan Curry Musubis
Banana Spaghetti, My Take On Grandmaās Filipino Spaghetti
If every Chinese birthday must have Long Life Noodles, then every Filipino birthday must have Filipino-style spaghetti. Unlike its Italian cousin, Filipino spaghetti is sweet, made with Filipino-style hotdogs, andāsurprise!ābanana ketchup. Iāve previously shared the history of banana ketchup and even have my own recipe if you want to DIY it in [this post]. For… Continue reading Banana Spaghetti, My Take On Grandmaās Filipino Spaghetti
Orange Chorizo Meatballs
Orange Chorizo Meatballs is a dish that brings together bold and contrasting flavorsāthe deep, spiced savoriness of chorizo, balanced by the subtle sweetness and bright acidity of orange. The fruitās tang cuts through the richness of the meat, while the silky sauce clings just enough to each meatball, creating a tantalizing visual and an even… Continue reading Orange Chorizo Meatballs
Giniling FĆ ntuĆ”n (é„å¢)
We love our rice. This fact is even more obvious after deliberating at COSTCO with my oldest daughter as to how many sacks of rice we should get. I said one will be enough, but she said, two because āwe eat a lot of riceā, inviting chuckles from a nearby couple who overheard us and… Continue reading Giniling FĆ ntuĆ”n (é„å¢)
Sinigang- Sesame Achoy Salad
Before Dough Zone spread to four states and had over twenty locations, it was once a small shop in Bellevue we loved to frequent. During my short- lived stint as a vegan, I picked out their vegetable dishes, which is how I ended up trying a humble looking salad, simply called āa choy saladā. When… Continue reading Sinigang- Sesame Achoy Salad
Mole Pasta with Chipotle Cream Sauce
This has been one of the toughest recipes Iāve ever worked with. For six weeks, my family had to eat batches of this pasta until I was satisfied with the look on their faces. The reality of recipe development is that we have more days of trial and error versus days that we get it… Continue reading Mole Pasta with Chipotle Cream Sauce
Stir Fried Mushrooms with Chestnuts
My sister-in-law knows Iām an absolute foodie. I also am intrigued with growing my own vegetables and fruits (though I think thatās a one-way street!). So when she gave me a Back to the Roots Mushroom Kit as a present for Christmas, I knew I was going to have fun with it! Since it takes… Continue reading Stir Fried Mushrooms with Chestnuts
Longganisa Chao Fan
I make your very basic Chao Fan (Fried Rice) at least once a week. Itās easy, balanced and only requires one pan to cook everything in it. The kids always look forward to it, and so do I. But growing up, longsilog along with bangsilog, dangsilog and tok-si-log were my breakfasts of choice. The components… Continue reading Longganisa Chao Fan
Char Siu Tamales Oaxaquenos
Belated 3 Kings Post! In years past, Iāve always made a Rosca de Reyes (funny story: In Mexico, COSTCO sells this traditional sweet bread for much cheaper than other places, so scalpers have hoarded them, eventually reselling them for profit. Many of them ended up with a ton of inventory that, of course, could not… Continue reading Char Siu Tamales Oaxaquenos
