Simply peel the gourd, remove seeds and cut into cubes. Saute quickly.The hearty pork is a robust addition to the simplicity of the translucent, soft cubes.

So, I cooked a classic Filipino sauté of Okra with Bagoong (shrimp paste). I buy fresh okra at the Asian market. It is almost always available. Even large supermarkets with diverse vegetable offerings have okra now.

The stalks are long and thick so I steamed them for a few, quick minutes before tossing it in the skillet to stir-fry with the other ingredients. Once cooked, the leafy greens have a delicate, herbal and slightly sweet flavor which combines well with the saltiness of the thick soy sauce and fresh shrimps.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-chinese-broccoli-stir-fry-with-shrimps/feed/ 0 7297 https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-pasta-alfredo-primavera-instant-pot/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-pasta-alfredo-primavera-instant-pot/#respond Sat, 03 Mar 2018 21:00:52 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=7037 This Instant Pot Pasta Alfredo Primavera was cooked in under 35 minutes in my multi-cooker. The original recipe uses penne, but I chose pappardelle. The rich, thick creamy sauce combined with the sliced button mushrooms, made for a very appealing and hard-to-resist pasta meal. ]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-pasta-alfredo-primavera-instant-pot/feed/ 0 7037 https://thequirinokitchen.com/make-adobong-labong-bamboo-shoots-pork-shrimps/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/make-adobong-labong-bamboo-shoots-pork-shrimps/#comments Sun, 13 Aug 2017 00:10:14 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=6681 Adobong Labong with Pork and Shrimps is the type of vegetable-meat dish that is an everyday meal. My mom cooked this entrée all the time and so I remember distinctly the tart, garlic-vinegar flavors that stood out at the table. The yellow strips of bamboo shoots are simple and nearly bland in flavor at the start, so the addition of garlic, vinegar and soy sauce adds a unique Filipino zest to the entire entrée. To round up the vegetable and meat meal, I add spinach leaves at the end of cooking for even more texture and a hearty dimension]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/make-adobong-labong-bamboo-shoots-pork-shrimps/feed/ 1 6681 https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-arroz-con-pollo/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-arroz-con-pollo/#respond Mon, 10 Jul 2017 23:06:03 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=6613 Arroz con Pollo is Spanish for chicken with rice. It is one of the easiest all-in-one meals to prepare. Although origins of this dish can be traced to Spain and the history of the Moors, this is a popular dish among Filipinos whose love for rice with every meal is unsurpassed. The traditional recipes of Arroz con Pollo are yellow rice-based and are cooked with saffron and other strong spices. For my modern version, I used everyday ingredients I had in my pantry and refrigerator.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/cook-arroz-con-pollo/feed/ 0 6613 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-stuffed-bell-peppers-with-pork-and-potatoes/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-stuffed-bell-peppers-with-pork-and-potatoes/#comments Sun, 17 May 2015 15:39:59 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=5124 When my sons were little, I worried if they refused to eat. So, I often made these classic Filipino Relyeno- Stuffed Bell Peppers with Pork and Potatoes.  An aunt once told me “children get hungry eventually. Just put the food on the table and don’t fuss.” In time I figured it out.
