Hefty quartered potatoes and slices of bell peppers are added to the rich stew, thickened with bread crumbs. Sometimes, I cook this dish a day ahead which gives the tomato sauce flavors time to blend and taste even sweeter. I offer two ways to cook this in the procedure: In the Instant Pot which cooks quickly or the classic, stove-top way. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/chicken-afritada-in-the-instant-pot/feed/ 4 7347 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-shrimps-stir-fry-with-cashews-and-sugar-snap-peas/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-shrimps-stir-fry-with-cashews-and-sugar-snap-peas/#respond Sun, 04 Nov 2018 22:46:44 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=7392 Shrimps Stir Fry with Cashews and Sugar Snap Peas are a delight to cook and enjoy.

After simmering the boneless chicken breasts in mango juice in the inside pot, I sliced the chicken and put together a colorful, flavorful salad of greens and fresh, ripe mangoes. Use frozen mangoes as substitute if more convenient. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-instant-pot-thai-inspired-mango-chicken-salad/feed/ 0 7380 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-bake-a-banana-apple-bread-loaf/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-bake-a-banana-apple-bread-loaf/#comments Sun, 28 Oct 2018 23:41:35 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=7365 ‘] One of the best things about autumn here in America is apple-picking time.

In this fish dish, I used the same flavors that make the pork sisig appealing. I added calamansi (the Filipino lime) or lemon juice, soy sauce, and ingredients to add a fiery kick to the sisig. For great results use Bangus or milkfish]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-bangus-sisig-spicy-milkfish-flakes/feed/ 0 7346 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-apple-pancakes-with-walnuts-and-raisins/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-apple-pancakes-with-walnuts-and-raisins/#respond Sun, 30 Sep 2018 07:36:54 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=6166 Apples are abundant in autumn here in America.

It's also my preferred one to cook because I can prepare an all-in-one meal. Both the salmon and eggplant can be cooked in the same skillet and served with the syrupy, thick teriyaki sauce. Salmon has always been a favorite, go-to ingredient for my busy weeknights.  It is thicker and meatier than most fish. Thus, it is hearty enough to fill us up. And paired with a hefty serving of steamed jasmine rice, then that’s the perfect meal right there.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-salmon-and-eggplants-with-teriyaki-sauce/feed/ 0 7318 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-macaroni-and-cheese-with-spam-from-pulutan/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-macaroni-and-cheese-with-spam-from-pulutan/#respond Sun, 16 Sep 2018 23:37:49 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=7337 When cookbook author Marvin Gapultos a.k.a. @BurntLumpia sent me as a gift his new cookbook Pulutan!
