For the stir-fry sauce base, you can either use homemade shrimp stock or vegetable stock (store-bought is fine). Both are delicious either one you choose. The shrimp stock adds a rich, full-bodied flavor. Scale up on vegetables in this recipe or add what you have in season.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/vegetable-lo-mein/feed/ 0 18199 https://thequirinokitchen.com/mango-chiffon-cake-with-buttercream-frosting/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/mango-chiffon-cake-with-buttercream-frosting/#respond Sun, 30 Jun 2019 00:12:56 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=9442 This Filipino Mango Chiffon Cake with Buttercream Frosting is a classic chiffon cake flavored with mango juice.

Cubes of pork shoulder are cooked in the Instant Pot in the traditional flavors of tangy garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, peppercorns, bay leaves and seasonings. I added crisp kangkong (water spinach) at the end of cooking for an all-in-one meal combination of pork and vegetables. I offer two ways to cook this dish in the procedure: In the popular Instant Pot multicooker or on the stove-top.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-instant-pot-pork-adobo-with-kangkong/feed/ 3 7283 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-bake-cheese-cupcakes/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-bake-cheese-cupcakes/#comments Wed, 12 Dec 2018 22:04:56 +0000 https://www.asianinamericamag.com/?p=7477 These Filipino Cheese Cupcakes are popular among Pinoys and often sold at Philippine bakeries.

It's also my preferred one to cook because I can prepare an all-in-one meal. Both the salmon and eggplant can be cooked in the same skillet and served with the syrupy, thick teriyaki sauce. Salmon has always been a favorite, go-to ingredient for my busy weeknights.  It is thicker and meatier than most fish. Thus, it is hearty enough to fill us up. And paired with a hefty serving of steamed jasmine rice, then that’s the perfect meal right there.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-cook-salmon-and-eggplants-with-teriyaki-sauce/feed/ 0 7318
