Beef and tausi stir-fry
I cooked this dish very early today. Believe it or not, I was preparing lunch as early as 8.00 a.m. According to the new kitchen project schedule, the door that connects the main part of the house with the new kitchen wing will be sealed off today and an existing window will be converted into [...]

Vietnamese-style beef noodle soup
Noodle soups are very Asian. While I grew up with Chinese noodle soups, more popularly known in the Philippines by the generic name of mami, I have come to love Vietnamese noodle soups as an adult. One of the basic differences between Chinese and Vietnamese noodle soups is the kind of noodles used. Egg noodles [...]

Afritada is another one of those tomato sauce based stews that was introduced in the Philippines by the Spaniards. It is not, however, the same as other tomato sauce based stews. Though similar in appearance, kaldereta’s sauce is thickened with mashed liver, mechado uses thick beef slices with a cube of fat inserted at the [...]

Kinilaw (kilawin) na tuna
Kinilaw means to “cook” in vinegar. It’s not really cooking since there is no heat involved. But soaking fish or some other seafood in a strong vinegar solution turns the meat opaque and gives it a texture of having been cooked.
Why do Filipinos love curing fish and meat? Specifically, with the use of vinegar? I [...]

Shrimps in wine
I can’t think of any other dish that is easier to cook than my shrimps in wine. Well, unless we include grilling or frying hotdogs.
My husband came home last night with three huge grocery bags–lots of chicken, pork and beef. I was a little surprised because I thought we would do the marketing today. [...]
