We devour these quickly when I make a batch using the familiar ingredients of traditional oatmeal, flour, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and with the delicious addition of raisins and chocolate chips.

I put together some favorite Filipino and Asian summer recipes for the Memorial Day weekend and the coming sultry, hot months. Memorial Day, a moveable holiday here in America, falls on the last Monday of May and marks the start of the summer season. It is a time of remembrance for the military men and women who lost their lives in the service of their country. It is also a long weekend of family and friends gathering and celebrating with food.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/filipino-summer-recipes/feed/ 0 87870 https://thequirinokitchen.com/pichi-pichi-in-the-microwave/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/pichi-pichi-in-the-microwave/#respond Sun, 05 May 2024 00:09:37 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=87694 Pichi-Pichi in the Microwave are classic Filipino delicacies which are bite-sized, gooey steamed cassava morsels coated with grated sweet coconut meat.

Relish the fragrant, fresh aroma of the coconut-flavored custard as you pour the thick liquid into the caramel-lined pan. The entire flan is cooked in a water bath, then refrigerated overnight to firm up before serving. Individual slices of flan are topped with sweet macapuno strings, making it a superb dessert.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/coconut-leche-flan/feed/ 1 86349 https://thequirinokitchen.com/butter-mochi-cake/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/butter-mochi-cake/#comments Wed, 20 Sep 2023 00:11:42 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=85317 Butter Mochi Cake is a dessert or snack popular in the state of Hawaii, It is easy to bake and consists of rice flour, coconut milk, and a few basic baking staples. The thick batter mixes quickly with an electric mixer and bakes in under an hour. The result is a buttery-fragrant rich, dense cake that is crisp on the outside and chewy-gooey soft inside. Some say this cake is similar to the Filipino cassava or bibingka, and this is why it's a personal favorite of mine for potlucks, family gatherings, after-school snacks, or a dessert for dinner. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/butter-mochi-cake/feed/ 2 85317 https://thequirinokitchen.com/peach-mango-basque-burnt-cheesecake/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/peach-mango-basque-burnt-cheesecake/#respond Thu, 31 Aug 2023 23:04:43 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=85188 This is my version of a Peach-Mango Basque Burnt Cheesecake, flavored with sweet mango puree, and topped with ripe fresh slices of peaches and mangoes.
