I tried to recreate this classic dessert in my American kitchen by using bottled macapuno strings (coconut sport) for the filling. A double pie crust encases the sweet tropical coconut.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/buko-pie/feed/ 2 17586 https://thequirinokitchen.com/arroz-caldo-with-kabocha-squash-instant-pot-stovetop/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/arroz-caldo-with-kabocha-squash-instant-pot-stovetop/#respond Sun, 31 Oct 2021 21:18:37 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=17518 The classic Filipino Arroz Caldo has the addition of Kabocha Squash in this recipe. The rice porridge, with chicken cooked in soup stock flavored with garlic, onions, and ginger has the added dimension of kabocha squash cubes, or kalabasa, as it's known to Filipinos. This is the rice porridge that most Filipinos turn to when feeling ill, or the weather gets rainy and chilly. Serve this as an afternoon merienda, or a meal for lunch and dinner. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/arroz-caldo-with-kabocha-squash-instant-pot-stovetop/feed/ 0 17518 https://thequirinokitchen.com/salmon-with-calamansi-and-toyo/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/salmon-with-calamansi-and-toyo/#respond Mon, 04 Oct 2021 18:23:50 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=17411 This Salmon fillet was cooked with the classic Filipino combination of calamansi and toyo (soy sauce). Calamansi is the Filipino lime, and are tiny, round, citrus fruit. They have a piercingly-sweet aroma, and its tart taste enhances food flavors when used as a seasoning. Inspired by the classic Pinoy bistek, I used the same marinade for this salmon entree which was pan-fried and ready in under thirty minutes.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/salmon-with-calamansi-and-toyo/feed/ 0 17411 https://thequirinokitchen.com/chinese-braised-minced-pork-on-rice/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/chinese-braised-minced-pork-on-rice/#comments Mon, 26 Jul 2021 22:31:03 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=16959 This Chinese Braised Minced Pork on Rice is my version of the classic dish often served at restaurants. The ground pork is stir fried in onions, and fresh ginger, and cooked in Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and seasonings.

The word "burong" is Pilipino for preserving or pickling in vinegar usually. It takes two days to pickle these mango slices.

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/korean-chicken-bulgogi/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/korean-chicken-bulgogi/#respond Sat, 09 May 2020 05:00:20 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=14061 Have I mentioned how Filipinos love Korean dishes just like this Chicken Bulgogi?
