These are shaped like the size of golf balls, thus the term. Filipinos love meatballs so this is a recipe I often cook. After braising the meatballs, pour the sweet-flavored Bulgogi sauce and dinner is done. This easy dish is a fusion of Chinese-style meatballs combined with the sweet-savory goodness of a Korean-style Bulgogi sauce. This recipe is so easy to make and such a family favorite that it's on my menu rotation constantly. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/lions-head-meatballs-with-bulgogi-sauce/feed/ 0 88293 https://thequirinokitchen.com/pork-chops-adobado/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/pork-chops-adobado/#respond Sat, 27 Apr 2024 23:30:49 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=87595 My Pork Chops Adobado is a one-pot meal of boneless pork loin chops cooked the Filipino adobo way in garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves, peppercorns and seasonings. Adobado is the Visayan term for 'to cook the adobo way', and this was a dish I watched my mother cook all the time during my youth. I recreated Mom's recipe and added onions, potatoes, tomatoes and bell peppers. just like she used to. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/pork-chops-adobado/feed/ 0 87595 https://thequirinokitchen.com/baked-macaroni/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/baked-macaroni/#respond Thu, 22 Feb 2024 00:10:01 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=87032 My Baked Macaroni has several comforting layers of elbow macaroni, a hearty sauce of ground beef, crumbled pork breakfast sausage in tomato sauces with a hint of sweetness from Filipino banana ketchup, and heaping amounts of grated mozzarella cheese.

These are wrapped in wontons, thin wrappers made of flour and water. My version consists of the favorite filling of ground pork, shrimps, water chestnuts, soy sauce, rice wine and seasonings. Filling and shaping is done by hand, and each dumpling resembles a tiny, open cup, with pleated sides of the wonton. Steam the siomai and serve with a side dipping sauce of soy sauce sprinkled with calamansi. Serve as an appetizer, side or main dish. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/pork-siomai/feed/ 0 87034 https://thequirinokitchen.com/binagis-na-baka-bagis/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/binagis-na-baka-bagis/#respond Mon, 22 Jan 2024 00:51:47 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=86963 Binagis na Baka, also known as Bagis to most Filipinos, is an appetizer dish that can transform to a main course easily. My version is a sauteed dish of ground beef cooked with shallots, garlic and scallions. The flavors from tart calamansi, the Filipino lime, a splash of soy sauce, fiery siling labuyo (bird's eye chilies) and seasonings complete this entree. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/binagis-na-baka-bagis/feed/ 0 86963 https://thequirinokitchen.com/shrimp-gambas/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/shrimp-gambas/#comments Fri, 01 Dec 2023 22:06:07 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=86426 Shrimp Gambas, also known as Gambas al Ajillo, is a Spanish-style seafood dish often served in Spain's tapas bars. Spain's influence has long made this shrimp specialty a part of Filipino cooking. The succulent shrimps are pan fried in extra virgin olive oil, plenty of garlic, and simmered in sweet tomato sauces. A spicy kick from the sriracha sauce may be added for some excitement. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/shrimp-gambas/feed/ 1 86426 https://thequirinokitchen.com/green-beans-with-longaniza/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/green-beans-with-longaniza/#respond Fri, 10 Nov 2023 23:27:13 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=82724 Green Beans with Longaniza are a delightful, unique way to serve these vegetables topped with the sweet-savory flavors of crumbled longanizas, Filipino cured pork sausages.

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. Seasonings of vegetarian fish sauce and soy sauce, plus citrusy lemon are poured all over to coat the noodles and vegetables.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/vegetarian-pancit-bihon/feed/ 1 85878
