Goreng means ‘fried’ and in this recipe refers to the tofu ( tokwa to Filipinos) which I pan fried before mixing in the all-vegetable saute. I used tamari sauce to stir fry the ingredients and added bird’s eye chilies (siling labuyo in the Philippines) to give the dish a kick.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-tokwa-goreng-spicy-sweet-tofu-and-vegetables-with-peanuts/feed/ 2 4989 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-hainanese-chicken-with-chicken-rice-a-singapore-style-recipe/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-hainanese-chicken-with-chicken-rice-a-singapore-style-recipe/#comments Sun, 14 Dec 2014 05:00:40 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4806 Hainanese Chicken Rice, Singapore-style is a light, refreshing way to serve an entree. Try this for a holiday party to balance the heavy richness of other dishes. Or enjoy it as an everyday dish. The chicken is simply poached in the boiling water flavored with ginger and scallions.

This wonderful Stir-Fried Pepper and Salt-Shrimp dish. Oh my goodness. The smoke detector sent off a piercing sound. The wok was too hot, the oil beyond boiling.

It is a great side. In just a few tablespoons you’ll find the combined flavors of tart, sweet, salty and spicy.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/filipino-achara-how-to-make-green-papaya-pickle-relish/feed/ 15 1620
