This is a simple method of soaking the eggs in a salt-water brine solution for more than 3 weeks, then boiling the eggs afterwards. The results are a hard-boiled, salty egg version which can be used as ingredients for salads, steamed buns, on pastries and rice cakes, or even to coat potato chips. This was a recipe shared by the late Pinoy Chef Theodore "Day" Salonga"]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/salted-eggs-itlog-na-maalat/feed/ 0 88653 https://thequirinokitchen.com/kutsinta-instant-pot-or-stovetop/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/kutsinta-instant-pot-or-stovetop/#respond Thu, 28 Dec 2023 22:49:38 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=86745 Kutsinta, also known as kuchinta or cuchinta, are classic Filipino kakanins (rice cakes) which are small, round, are reddish-brown in color, and have a sticky, jelly-like consistency.

Every ingredient in this hearty tomato-sauce based stew appeals to everyone. Hefty, tender beef cubes are nestled next to smoky-flavored Spanish chorizos. The vegetables consist of half the stew and there's a complete array of cabbage, green beans, potatoes, carrots. Serve this with sides of tangy eggplant hash, and sweet plantains.

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/vegetarian-pancit-bihon/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/vegetarian-pancit-bihon/#comments Wed, 01 Nov 2023 00:41:55 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=85878 This is my recipe version of Vegetarian Pancit Bihon, adapted from the classic Filipino noodle dish served at parties or large gatherings. The amount of ingredients have been scaled down in this recipe for a family meal. This is a basic stir-fried dish that's easy to put together. The mixed vegetables of cabbage, carrots, green beans, celery, mushrooms are stir-fried with garlic and onions, and cooked together with the silky rice noodles.

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/pinaupong-manok-sitting-chicken-on-a-bed-of-salt/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/pinaupong-manok-sitting-chicken-on-a-bed-of-salt/#respond Sat, 29 Jul 2023 22:40:58 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=84920 Pinaupong Manok in Tagalog means the sitting chicken.
