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/banana-bread-with-chocolate-chips-and-chocolate-frosting/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/banana-bread-with-chocolate-chips-and-chocolate-frosting/#respond Sat, 10 Feb 2024 00:55:26 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=87113 This is a classic Banana Bread recipe made special with the addition of semi sweet chocolate chips in the batter. This is also one of the easiest desserts to make with over ripened bananas and baking ingredients you probably have in your pantry.

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/sikreto-ni-maria-dessert/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/sikreto-ni-maria-dessert/#comments Sun, 07 Aug 2022 22:54:24 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=19178 The Filipino Sikreto ni Maria Dessert is no longer a highly coveted secret, I discovered. I recreated it from a dessert I tried in the Philippines, and embellished the sublime treat with more layers of my own. Must-have ingredients are suman (sticky rice logs), fresh ripe Ataulfo mangoes, coconut cream, macapuno, mango ice cream, ube haleya and coconut flakes. Arrange them in layers for a heavenly dessert or snack. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/sikreto-ni-maria-dessert/feed/ 2 19178 https://thequirinokitchen.com/vegetable-pancit-sotanghon/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/vegetable-pancit-sotanghon/#comments Sat, 25 Jun 2022 23:08:39 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=18958 This Vegetable Pancit Sotanghon is a basic Filipino stir-fry dish cooked with cellophane-clear noodles and a medley of vegetables.

Or on the outdoor barbecue grill if preferred. Serve immediately with a side dipping sauce of spicy vinegar. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/inihaw-na-baboy-grilled-pork-air-fryer-ninja-foodi/feed/ 0 18912 https://thequirinokitchen.com/upo-guisado-with-pork/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/upo-guisado-with-pork/#respond Sun, 24 Apr 2022 21:03:51 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=15789 The classic Filipino Upo Guisado with Pork is a sauteed dish of upo (bottle gourd) with pork cubes, tomatoes, and seasonings.
