This pasta meal is best when you cook with shrimps or seafood purchased the same day. While the pasta was boiling in water, I did a quick saute of the fresh, peeled shrimps in olive oil, garlic, white wine and seasonings. Add vegetable greens like spinach at the last few minutes of cooking and dinner is ready.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-shrimps-and-vegetables-on-pasta/feed/ 0 5751 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-bistek-tagalog-braised-beef-slices-in-citrus-and-soy-sauce/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-bistek-tagalog-braised-beef-slices-in-citrus-and-soy-sauce/#comments Sun, 15 Mar 2015 03:00:57 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4995 This beef dish is defined by its strong sweet citrus flavor. Bistek Tagalog (say ‘bees-stek Ta-gah-log’) is a favorite Filipino recipe of braised beef slices cooked in a skillet and flavored with citrus juice from calamansi (the Filipino lime) or lemons and soy sauce. I used tamari, a low sodium, gluten-free soy sauce for this recipe. The layer of large onion ring slices are pan fried before the beef is braised in the same skillet to flavor the entire dish with a robust sensation]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-bistek-tagalog-braised-beef-slices-in-citrus-and-soy-sauce/feed/ 1 4995 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pasta-with-tuyo-bottled-herring-in-olive-oil/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pasta-with-tuyo-bottled-herring-in-olive-oil/#comments Sat, 29 Nov 2014 23:35:11 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4791 This Pasta with Filipino Tuyo and Vegetables: Herring in Oil has bottled tuyo as a star ingredient. Tuyo are herrings, tiny fish salted and sun dried for food preservation. In recent years, the tuyo, formerly a poor man’s meal, has been elevated to gourmet level. Enterprising businesses in the Philippines created bottled tuyo, tiny salted and fried herrings in rich olive oil, chilies and seasonings. Nowadays, I buy a couple of bottles from the Asian or Filipino grocery and cook up a fancy pasta dish with it. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pasta-with-tuyo-bottled-herring-in-olive-oil/feed/ 11 4791 https://thequirinokitchen.com/beef-salpicado-de-solomillo-and-meeting-nina-aguas/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/beef-salpicado-de-solomillo-and-meeting-nina-aguas/#comments Sat, 07 Dec 2013 21:05:10 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4187 [amazon_link asins=’B01726HD72,B000RYFQ44,B00KPX4ICI,B00PKKJ09M,B00HEZ888K,B01IZ41K5G’ template=’ProductCarousel’ store=’queensnotcom-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’eaaf88dc-e6c8-11e8-a272-af7495eee7c1′] Meeting Nina brought back images from the past.
