My version used frozen cooked ube from the Asian markets. I added rice flour, canned coconut milk and condensed milk to the mixture to thicken it. The process of making this involves constant stirring on the stove-top. When it's ready, the sweet flavors of ube combined with fragrant coconut define this luscious treat for dessert or a merienda snack. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/kalamay-ube/feed/ 3 13500 https://thequirinokitchen.com/instant-pot-salmon-sa-gata-fish-in-coconut-and-vegetables/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/instant-pot-salmon-sa-gata-fish-in-coconut-and-vegetables/#respond Sun, 14 Apr 2019 22:11:07 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=8467 Instant Pot Salmon sa Gata - Fish in Coconut with Vegetables is a typical Filipino all-in-one meal of fish and vegetables cooked in coconut milk.

This recipe used slivers of coconut meat mixed into the meatballs. Typically, in the Philippines, it is easy to find fresh coconuts and grate the fresh meat for use in this recipe. But since I live in suburban New Jersey with no fresh coconut trees around me, then I used the frozen coconut meat, which are easy to find in Asian markets. The familiar favorite agrio-dulce or sweet-sour sauce poured all over the baked meatballs makes this an enticing-looking entrée that will be forever on your holiday menu.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-coconut-meatballs-sweet-sour-sauce/feed/ 0 6887 https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-gising-gising-spicy-green-beans-pork-coconut-milk/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-gising-gising-spicy-green-beans-pork-coconut-milk/#comments Sun, 26 Feb 2017 19:26:08 +0000 http://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=6343 “Do you cook Gising-gising?” asked a culinary friend from Manila during a recent Skype session.
