I put together some favorite Asian summer recipes for the Memorial Day weekend and the coming hot months. I already anticipate the sultry heat will drive you and me out of the kitchen, and straight to the outdoor grill. So, I’ve lined up some favorite Filipino barbecues, burgers, plus salads, and sides to pair with. And of course, every meal must have drinks and dessert, so here are a few easy beverages and no-bake desserts.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/summer-recipes/feed/ 0 18808 https://thequirinokitchen.com/meyer-lemon-frozen-margarita/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/meyer-lemon-frozen-margarita/#respond Fri, 31 Dec 2021 05:00:10 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=17868 I used freshly-picked Meyer Lemons for this Meyer Lemon Frozen Margarita. This lemon variety is sweeter than the regular tart ones, and are close in citrusy flavor to the Filipino calamansi (calamondin). Meyer lemons are in season from November to March and are great for cooking and baking. And for whipping up a pleasant frozen Margarita cocktail, these lemons are the best.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/meyer-lemon-frozen-margarita/feed/ 0 17868 https://thequirinokitchen.com/mango-margarita-cocktail/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/mango-margarita-cocktail/#respond Sun, 02 May 2021 23:33:55 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=16466 This Mango Margarita Cocktail is a variation of the basic Margarita, one of the favorite beverages of all time. It's also easy to make from scratch. I added mango puree, made from fresh Ataulfo mangoes. This mango variety is similar to the Philippine carabao mangoes, which are sweeter and less fibrous. Serve this drink straight up, on the rocks or frozen. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/mango-margarita-cocktail/feed/ 0 16466 https://thequirinokitchen.com/salabat-filipino-ginger-tea-instant-pot-stove-top/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/salabat-filipino-ginger-tea-instant-pot-stove-top/#respond Tue, 31 Mar 2020 13:24:17 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=13543 The Salabat is the traditional Filipino Ginger Tea, made from fresh ginger slices. In the Philippines, this is a cure-all for sore throats, coughs, colds, or upset stomachs. It is also recommended to soothe vocal chords. It can also serve as a wellness beverage.

In the Philippines, iced candy are commonplace and sold as street food or prepared at home for snacks or desserts. As in regular ice cream or frozen treats, the Filipino Iced Candy can be made using different flavors.
