Filipino Dish: Chicken Adobo

Hi again,

A few days ago I was craving for some Filipino Chicken Adobo and took a trip to the local grocery store to buy some of the ingredients. It's not hard to make and cooks for at least 30 minutes. Chicken adobo is one of the main favorite Filipino dishes among the Filipinos, I believe, along with sinigang, pancit, etc. I used chicken drumlettes because they are much easier to work with compared to chopping up a whole chicken like how my parents make it. That's too much work for me, lol. The ingredients mainly used are chicken, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, water, and black pepper. It's all up to you in whatever else you want to add to the recipe. I make this dish from scratch so I can't really say how much tablespoon or cups I add when I make chicken adobo, because it all depends on how much chicken drumlettes I use. This dish goes well with steam rice too.

Happy eating!

Ay Sarap!

Filipino Dish: Sinigang Sa Bayabas

Hi again,

I was craving for some Filipino food and decided to make sinigang for lunch. It's a guava soup with fish (I used salmon) and vegetables (bok choy, green beans, onions, tomatoes, etc.), which is one of the main dishes in the Philippines, if I'm not mistaken. It's one of my favorite Filipino dishes topped off with steam rice, yum-o! Hubby and I devoured it for lunch yesterday, because it was so delicious and somewhat light to eat, besides the steam rice added. However,  I used a Mama Sita Sinigang Sa Bayabas mix to help me out a little bit with the taste, but the rest I make it how I like it. This is the only Filipino dish I use a mix for compared to all the other dishes I make from scratch. I applaud you if you can make this from scratch :o)

If you're thinking of what to make for lunch or dinner, try cooking some sinigang...a taste from the Philippines. It's so easy to make and very delicious! Happy eating!

Directions:

* Cook for 30 minutes at medium heat.

1) Fill large pot with water halfway and add the Mama Sita Sinigang Sa Bayabas mix.

2) Add the fish (salmon...chunks).

3) After 15 minutes, add the vegetables.

4) Stir occasionally.
