This is the Filipino version of meatloaf. I combined pork and beef together with the other ingredients including green peas, bell peppers and carrots. The Hardinera loaves are then steamed for a delicious family meal. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/hardinera-filipino-meatloaf-with-vegetables/feed/ 2 88690 https://thequirinokitchen.com/sinigang-na-baboy-sa-bayabas-and-sampalok/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/sinigang-na-baboy-sa-bayabas-and-sampalok/#respond Tue, 07 Mar 2023 23:42:59 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=83794 Sinigang is the classic Philippine soup meal that is flavored with souring ingredients, in this case, bayabas (guavas) and sampalok (tamarind). This makes the clear soup broth taste tart, sour and savory all at once. This all-one-soup meal used pork ribs, pork neck bones, guavas, tamarind, assorted vegetables, seasoned with patis (fish sauce). ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/sinigang-na-baboy-sa-bayabas-and-sampalok/feed/ 0 83794 https://thequirinokitchen.com/shrimps-with-walnuts/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/shrimps-with-walnuts/#respond Wed, 01 Mar 2023 22:02:33 +0000 https://thequirinokitchen640.e.wpstage.net/?p=83647 Shrimps with Walnuts is a stir-fry of savory shrimps, crisp snow peas, with the addition of sweet, candied walnuts. The walnuts were cooked in syrup separately, for a few quick minutes.

This meatless dish cooks fast and easy with thin wheat noodles, stir-fried with toyo (soy sauce), oyster sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Sprinkle scallion greens and some lemon juice at the end, for a quick lunch, merienda snack, a side dish, or even a midnight meal]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/soy-sauce-noodles/feed/ 0 18488 https://thequirinokitchen.com/salmon-garlic-fried-rice-with-vegetables/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/salmon-garlic-fried-rice-with-vegetables/#respond Mon, 13 Jan 2020 00:23:47 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=12160 What do you do with leftover salmon or fish? The day after I cooked salmon fillet, I made Salmon Garlic Fried Rice with Vegetables for brunch. To most Filipinos, no food should be thrown away, no matter what.

You can cook this in the Instant Pot or on the stove-top and I share both ways here. In the Philippines, an entire steamed cake is given as a gift for the Lunar New Year to symbolize prosperity and good luck. When we received it, we pan-fried slices to soften it up. Once pan fried, each warm slice was crisp on the outside while sticky soft inside. The yellow coating of the eggs are close in color to 'gold', a symbol of prosperity. The chewy, gummy consistency of the tikoy rice cake are supposed to make sure the luck 'sticks'. We enjoy these delicious, savory strips of tikoy rice cakes served as a snack or side during Chinese New Year. Tikoy is a hearty, heavy and filling snack that's also good all year long.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-homemade-tikoy-nian-gao-for-chinese-new-year/feed/ 5 7591 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-chop-suey-a-vegetable-stir-fry/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-chop-suey-a-vegetable-stir-fry/#comments Sat, 16 Jun 2018 05:00:36 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4486 Chop Suey is a stir fry dish with meats, vegetables, sometimes even shrimps cooked with a thick sauce base of soy sauce, broth and flavored with sesame oil. This is my last resort when I am pressed for time and dinner has to be cooked fast. The thinly sliced beef cooks quickly and it only takes minutes for the vegetables to get done. You can also opt to make this dish with chicken or pork strips and vegetables in season.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-chop-suey-a-vegetable-stir-fry/feed/ 3 4486 https://thequirinokitchen.com/make-tikoy-ube-purple-yam-chinese-lunar-new-year/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/make-tikoy-ube-purple-yam-chinese-lunar-new-year/#comments Sat, 27 Jan 2018 21:03:33 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=6960 Tikoy (say 'tee-koy') is a steamed Chinese rice cake traditionally made with brown sugar and molasses. I added ube (purple yam) to my homemade tikoy to give it a sweet flavor and aroma. In the Philippines, steamed cakes are gifted for the Lunar New Year for prosperity and good luck.

If you ever find over ripened bananas in your fruit bowl, do not discard them. Yes, the softer the fruit is and the darker the outer skin, the sweeter this banana bread will be. Simply mix together the basic ingredients, including the mashed bananas. Bake it in a regular bundt cake pan, then once it is done and cooled off, make an easy glaze stove top with a bunch of chocolate chips and heavy cream.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/banana-bread-bundt-cake-with-chocolate-glaze-breakfast-for-dinner/feed/ 14 3540
