I added ham cubes, succulent tomato slices and crisp bok choy shreds. The rich, thick dark green, mushy monggo beans are said to have the highest protein content of most beans. Each bean is tinier than green peas and needs to be pre-boiled before sautéing. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-monggo-mung-beans-soup-with-ham-and-bok-choy/feed/ 0 5570 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-chicken-pipian/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-chicken-pipian/#comments Mon, 14 Dec 2015 18:09:32 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=5518 This Filipino Chicken Pipian dish is a great holiday meal for the family or a party. My recipe for the classic heirloom dish from Ilocos, Chicken Pipian is my modern version which used oregano and cilantro (kinchay) as combined substitutes for epazotes (pazotes) which can only be found in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. Here in the USA, the dried herb which originated in Mexico can be found through Mexican food markets.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-chicken-pipian/feed/ 2 5518 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pancit-bihon-with-shrimps-and-a-visit-to-vigan/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pancit-bihon-with-shrimps-and-a-visit-to-vigan/#comments Sun, 29 Nov 2015 21:03:35 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=5469 Pancit Bihon with Shrimps is an easy Filipino stir-fried noodle dish.

It is a popular dish among Ilocanos, referring to those who hail from the provinces of Ilocos, north of Manila, the capital. Higado is the Spanish term for liver. My version of this dish has pork tenderloin slices pan seared with chicken liver. Other cookbook versions use pork liver and innards.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pork-higado-and-honoring-statesman-and-survivor-elpidio-quirino-6th-president-of-the-philippines/feed/ 1 5455 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-i-made-salza-blanca-salmon-in-white-sauce-and-a-review-of-allegiance-on-broadway/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-i-made-salza-blanca-salmon-in-white-sauce-and-a-review-of-allegiance-on-broadway/#comments Sun, 18 Oct 2015 03:30:45 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=5416 When we watched the  October preview show of “Allegiance” the Broadway musical at the Longacre Theatre in New York City, I was reminded of my mom and her stories from World War II.

I have grilled many burgers over the years we've lived in America. My family loves a good old fashioned burger served with crisp fries on the side. This time I made a Pinoy burger with adobo flavors of garlic and vinegar. I cooked vegetables right next to the patties on the grill to serve as a side.

I took the advice of an aunt and marinated the entire slab of pork belly the night before with basic seasonings. The next day, the pork piece was ready to go on the grill. Keep the heat at a medium temperature. The aroma from the pork pieces will be hard to resist for the family, and even neighbors who will catch a whiff of this pork pieces in savory flavors of garlic and vinegar.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-inihaw-na-baboy-grilled-pork-belly/feed/ 2 5187 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-beef-stir-fry-with-mushrooms-tofu-and-green-beans/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-beef-stir-fry-with-mushrooms-tofu-and-green-beans/#comments Sun, 07 Jun 2015 03:51:47 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4968 [amazon_link asins=’B002AQSWNE,B002VNQSAA,B006QYNLKU,B00KY6YHMM’ template=’ProductCarousel’ store=’queensnotcom-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’618076e9-261f-11e7-afb1-2174c535993d’]On busy days, I wear a frown by late afternoon.
