Filipinos serve these as a main course, or an appetizer, and even 'merienda' (afternoon snack). After steaming, the plump and chewy rice grains encase the savory pork balls for a superb meal. Serve with a side dipping sauce of toyo mixed with calamansi or lemon and it’s even more scrumptious.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/siomai-rice-pearl-balls/feed/ 0 19223 https://thequirinokitchen.com/egg-roll-in-a-bowl/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/egg-roll-in-a-bowl/#comments Thu, 21 Mar 2019 05:00:50 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=8420 I own several Dutch ovens, so I got excited when my friend, cookbook author Lisa Grant sent me an advanced copy of her The 5-Ingredient Dutch Oven Cookbook. I got cooking right away and made this Egg Roll in a Bowl recipe.

It makes a great dish for St. Patrick's Day anytime year round. The entree starts with boiled potatoes and apple slices sauteed with onions and sausages in the butter. A topping of crisp bacon finishes the dish after it comes out of the oven. This is a wonderful meal that transcends from breakfast, lunch to dinner. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/bacon-sausage-and-potato-casserole/feed/ 2 8412 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-mapo-tofu/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-mapo-tofu/#respond Sun, 10 Mar 2019 05:00:58 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=7587 MaPo Tofu is a classic Asian dish with many similarities to Filipino entrees. My version has ground beef and pork stir-fried in a sauce base of soy, hoisin, rice wine and spices.

The word nilaga  translates to boiled so this is a stew with ‘boiled chicken’. The clear chicken broth is flavored with fish sauce, scallions and onions. You can be as versatile as you want with this dish, by adding quartered potatoes, carrots and green beans. I added robust, smokey Chinese sausages  to pack another layer of flavor. I offer two ways to cook this in the procedure: Instant Pot or the traditional stove-top way. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-instant-pot-instant-pot-chicken-nilaga-chicken-stew-with-vegetables/feed/ 0 7586 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-tulingan-sa-gata-mackerel-tuna-in-coconut-milk-with-vegetables/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-tulingan-sa-gata-mackerel-tuna-in-coconut-milk-with-vegetables/#respond Sat, 12 Jan 2019 22:08:23 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=1786 Tulingan is Pilipino for mackerel tuna– a small, thin fish which has a thick, white, meaty flesh. In this recipe, I boiled the fish first in water and seasonings. Then I added the cooked tulingan to the vegetable sauté and coconut broth. I have passed on this recipe to my son, Constante who like his grandfather enjoys fish dishes very often. This entree offers a savory-flavored fish simmered in a rich, thick broth of coconut milk with a saute of ginger, onions, garlic and vegetables.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-tulingan-sa-gata-mackerel-tuna-in-coconut-milk-with-vegetables/feed/ 0 1786 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-instant-pot-beef-pares-short-ribs-paired-with-broth/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-instant-pot-beef-pares-short-ribs-paired-with-broth/#respond Wed, 28 Nov 2018 22:33:45 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=7432 The holidays are nearly here and soon I’ll be cooking my Instant Pot Beef Pares. The word ‘pares’ (say “pah-res”) in Pilipino translates to ‘pairs’. This Filipino beef stew is simmered till it’s fall-off-the-bone tender and typically paired with rice.

The process involves soaking the sweet rice or “malagkit” (Pilipino for ‘sticky’) for a few hours till the grains plump up.
