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-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. And for an added Filipino touch, stacked the burgers and condiments on a jumbo pan de sal, the Filipino bun.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/how-to-make-adobo-beef-burgers/feed/ 1 5220 https://thequirinokitchen.com/sinigang-filipino-tamarind-soup-with-beef-and-vegetables/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/sinigang-filipino-tamarind-soup-with-beef-and-vegetables/#comments Sun, 27 Apr 2014 17:46:19 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4438 Sinigang is the classic Philippine soup meal that is flavored with tamarinds making it tart, sour, savory and salty all at the same time. It is a mélange of meats, vegetables and even seafoods. This is an all-season versatile dish that is best eaten with rice. The souring agents come from backyard fruits and vegetables like tamarinds, kamias or guavas in the Philippines. Here in America, I used a tamarind concentrate and added green mangoes and lemon slices to make the soup broth so tangy and sour, my face puckered up after tasting the soup stew.]]> https://thequirinokitchen.com/sinigang-filipino-tamarind-soup-with-beef-and-vegetables/feed/ 6 4438 https://thequirinokitchen.com/tinapang-bangus-with-sinangag-smoked-fish-on-garlic-rice/ https://thequirinokitchen.com/tinapang-bangus-with-sinangag-smoked-fish-on-garlic-rice/#comments Sat, 05 Apr 2014 18:13:59 +0000 http://asianinamericamag.com/?p=4401 Tinapang Bangus or smoked milkfish are a favorite breakfast fare in the Philippines. It is usually accompanied by rice, tomatoes and eggs. What a great start to any day. The Tinapang Bangus was easy to flake.
