It is famous in the city of Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. Each town in Ilocos has bragging rights to their own versions. The common ingredients are rice flour, coconut, sugar, milk, butter, eggs and cheese. This bakes quickly for an enjoyable midday snack or breakfast and brunch fare. Serve warm with piping-hot salabat (ginger tea).]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/royal-vigan-bibingka/feed/ 11 11842 https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pork-lechon-kawali/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pork-lechon-kawali/#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2016 20:58:02 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=5630 The Pork Bagnet is the Ilocano version of lechon kawali. Cook the slab of pork twice and chop it into cubes, then deep fry the pork for a few minutes more till the skin is blistered, crisp and crackling. Serve with a side sauce of either the following: Sweet lechon sauce or salty bagoong balayan (fish and shrimp paste) sprinkled with calamansi or lime -- this was the Ilocano way of my late father-in-law. Lechon Kawali is good served with a side of 'achara' sweet-savory papaya pickles.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-pork-lechon-kawali/feed/ 1 5630 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
