Pancit Canton
Pancit Canton is a dish you will often see on just about any special
occasion in the Philippines; however if these noodles are not cooked
correctly, they can get a distinct soapy taste that most people don’t
appreciate. That’s why this dish is often time the second choice of
noodle lovers in the Philippines. I played around with this dish, and I
finally figured out how I can cook it confidently without the fear of it
tasting soapy.
Ginisang Ampalaya
Ginisang Ampalaya is bitter and yet very delicious when properly
prepared. You can also enjoy its many health benefits. I remember when I
was a little boy I used to hate this dish due to its strong bitter
taste and now whenever I see an ampalaya on a produce shelf my mouth
starts to water.
Giniling Turo-Turo Style
Back home this dish Giniling Turo-Turo Style is fairly popular
especially at street side eateries, commonly called Turo-Turo
Restaurants.
Pinakbet
Pinakbet is one of my favorites when it comes to vegetable dishes. It’s a
mixture of stir-fried vegetables simmered in a rich flavor of pork,
shrimp paste (bagoong alamang), and spices. If you want to taste the
full potential of this dish then you need to use the key ingredient, the
shrimp paste.
Ginisang Sardinas
After being here in the U.S. for so long now there are a lot of things
that I have forgotten from my time in the Philippines and believe it or
not blogging has brought back a lot of good memories from when I was in
our native land. As I explore my thoughts on what to post next it also
gives me a chance to access memories that have been buried through time.
Ginisang Pechay
This dish, Ginisang Pechay, takes me back to memory lane during my young
age in the Philippines. I guess the main reason is that I was a picky
eater when I was a boy and just like most kids eating vegetables was not
my top priority.
Ginisang Monggo
Ginisang Monggo or Mung Beans Soup is a dish known to the Filipino’s as a
poor mans dish, but from what I can tell you there is nothing poor
about it. It is rich and hearty in flavor and just to kick it up another
notch (as Emeril Lagasi would say) you can add shredded smoked fish and
some shrimp and you will surely have a killer dish. Serve it with
freshly smoked Tinapa and steamed white rice and your family will have a
wonderful meal together.
Pansit Bihon
Pansit Bihon is very common this dish is in the Philippines; you will
find it at just about every special occasion. I am not really sure the
reason why this dish is so popular in the Philippines other than the
obvious reason that it tastes good and is relatively cheap to make.
