Slow Cooker Filipino Pork Adobo
Filipino food is underrated in my opinion. Granted, I’ve only skimmed the surface when it comes to eating legitimate Filipino food, but from what I have had, it is super tasty, well balanced, and extremely comforting. Everything from tinola, arroz caldo, mock sisig, torta, afritada, pancit canton, and bihon, plus who could forget lumpia, and […]
Arroz Caldo
Arroz caldo. Now that’s a funky name isn’t it? If you know any Spanish, then you would know this as rice soup. As I asked my wife, “did you guys grow up eating arroz caldo?”, she seemed confused and never heard of it. I said “C’mon, you’re Filipino and never heard of arroz caldo, you […]
Filipino Roasted Chicken – Lechon Manok
You probably know by now that my in-laws are Filipino, and I often live through them when it comes to understanding the cuisine of the Philippines. I realize that there are so many great Filipino recipes out there, however I have only skimmed the surface when it comes to trying some of the food. By […]
Pork Floss
I said it. I laid it out there. Pork floss. Many, I would think, have not seen, nor tasted pork floss before. There are a number of different names for it, however the generic term is simply pork floss. You will be amazed at some of the great things you can find at your local […]
Spam Burger
I did it. I went there. I loved it. SPAM. Not the email type here that we all know to hate, but the canned version that the world has known to love since the late 1930′s. I will be the first to admit that I have never been a fan of food in a can. […]
Korean Pancakes
For the past couple of months I have been tinkering with the thoughts of making some Korean food. I cannot say that Korean food is very popular in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and as a matter of fact, I think there might only be one Korean restaurant in the city. Many years ago, while I was living […]
Crispy Pork Belly
It was not too long ago when a new Asian market opened up a few miles from our house, and as always, I was pretty darn excited. Granted the distance was the same to this new store as it would have been to any other Asian market in town, but this one was special. This […]
Filipino Sisig
I am going to be up front with you and let you know that I am not the type to use pre-made seasoning packets. I am usually the type who often uses the pinch method when using seasonings, eyeballing teaspoons and tablespoons, as after all, that is some of the fun in cooking. But… I […]
Filipino Giniling
I love hearing my wife tell stories of how she grew up, in particular some of the Filipino food items that they would eat. My wife is part Filipino, and since being married to her, I have become very interested in Filipino cuisine. I will admit, you simply do not see a whole lot of […]
Duxelles and Craisin Stuffed Chicken
Ever since I made a beef wellington for family and friends at Thanksgiving, I have been a major fan of making duxelles. Duxelles is a french term for basically rendering down a bunch of finely diced mushrooms into somewhat of a paste. If you have never made duxelles, it is a must. There is an […]
Filipino Torta
I was first introduced to the torta while vacationing in Hilton Head, South Carolina roughly 7 years ago. A lot of our family members filled the vacation home near the beach. I believe it was our first vacation where we shared a living space with so many family members. It was a blast. A lot […]
Paksiw Lechon
A tough one to say. “Pack-C-Ew”. Lechon is what we know as a pig roast, but better. I think the Filipino culture, hands down, has the roasted pig mastered. The skin, the crispy skin, and the moist and flavorful pork is truly out of this world. Cooked to perfection, a sight for all eyes, the […]
Filipino Shrimp
I am not sure how to properly title this excellent shrimp dish, but my wife wanted me to give it the name Filipino Shrimp, for a couple of reasons. First and foremost the recipe was given to me, and slightly tweaked, by my wife’s cousins, the Tayags. Years back we all gathered up in our […]
Afritada – Filipino Pork Stew
A few months back we had our cousins over for dinner. It was really a potluck event, and as they make really great pasta dishes, we were fortunate to encounter a Filipino dish that I have never tried before. It was a casserole dish filled with pork, potatoes, and red bell peppers in a tomato […]
Pancit Canton
My surrounding family consists of primarily Filipino decent. Many of my dishes are stemmed from flavors of their dishes, and much of their food is really good, especially the snack-like items like lumpia, and pancit bihon, and sisig, only to name a few. I am always trying to extract stories and other information from family […]
Sinangag – Filipino Garlic Fried Rice
I have know for so many years that rice is the staple among many Filipino households. The rice cooker is typically on a counter top on most kitchens, and the smell of rice, great rice, is apparent when you walk into most houses. Don’t get me wrong, I love the scent of rice, and probably […]
Filipino Breakfast – Chicharones with Rice
You should have seen the excitement in my cousin’s eyes the other night. Her voice had changed and her facial expression changed as she opened a box that arrived from her friend in Florida. The box contained a nice stack of pork cracklings. She asked if I wanted a container, and of course I could […]
Tinola – Filipino Chicken Soup
I was introduced to Tinola years ago while visiting with my in-laws. From what I learned at the time, tinola was typically made when ‘Uncle Tony’ came over to visit my father-n-law. Tinola was Uncle Tony’s favorite dish, and after tasting it, I could not have agreed more with Uncle Tony. This soup brought my […]
Filipino Lumpia Shanghai
When my wife and I starting seriously dating years ago, I would go back home and spend time with my family during the holidays. During my visits, I would spend time with her family as well. I recall them frying up lumpia, or at least this is what I referred to them as eggrolls, during […]
Chicken Adobo
Chicken what? That’s right chicken adobo. A Filipino comfort food that I am now just beginning to explore. I have heard my wife tell me stories of her childhood, and what was served on the table, and one of the dishes that most everyone loved, was chicken adobo. Slow cooked chicken in a delicious vinegar […]
Pancit Bihon
Another simple dish that is easy to make is Pancit Bihon. This is another recipe my wife shared with me, and I have tweaked to make it my own. Pancit is very thin rice noodles. You can make them with meat and vegetables. My recipe includes the following: 1 bag of Pancit Bihon Olive or […]
Filipino Barbecue
I will be the first to admit that when my wife made this for me, it was wonderful. Anyone who knows me knows that I will do my own little twist to a recipe, enhance it, if you will. This recipe stems from my wife’s upbringing. In her house, barbecue is the dish. It was […]
