Misuardine: Stomach Warming

                A Filipino dish that’s perfect for a cold weather. It’s a combination of sardines and misua with soup that could give warm to your body. Misua is a thin Chinese noodles which can also be a substitution for your rice since it is also rich in carbohydrates. 

            Eating can sardines for my lunch was already ideal but since I was experiencing a freezing stomach today I decided to make a dish that has a soup so I’ve able to come up with this dish. 

            These are the ingredients for my dish today: 1 canned sardines (it should be a tomato based sauce), 100g misua, upo (bottle gourd), sayote, and patola (loofa) (either of the three), onion, garlic, salt and tomato. By the way, if you’re asking why I still put tomato even if the sardines was already a tomato based sauce it’s because I think it can still add taste that make my dish more tastier.

            Cooking this is so simple you just have to sauté garlic and onion then put your preferred vegetable and salt. After that put your canned sardines, wait until it boils before adding misua. Wait a little more minutes then serve it hot with rice.

From Eggplant to Squash Omelet

           

           Experiment will lead you to something new.

            Yesterday, I’ve shared with you an “Eggplant Omelet” and today I’ll share an experiment dish—“Squash Omelet”.

            While I’m on bed last night this is the dish that popped in my mind. (kung pwede itorta ang talong, bakit hindi yong kalabasa diba?) So I try it.

            It has the same ingredients as tortang talong except for eggplant. Eggs, salt, pepper, cornstarch (optional), and of course squash.

            All you have to do is to beat eggs seasons it with salt and pepper then add cornstarch (you can also add other seasonings you want). Unlike Tortang Talong, you have to skin first the squash before boiling it so that it is easy for to mash it. After mashing, mix it now to your beat eggs. Then that’s it, ready to fry. 

            Like Eggplant Omelet, it’s also very simple. Try also this, it looks like a pancake and it melts in your mouth. You can also dip it in ketchup.

2in1 Adobo: Dish to Sandich

Adobo was a well know food here in the Philippines. Meron nga tayong kanya-kanyang luto ng adobo eh.! And of course most of the foods are cooked adobo. Masarap naman talaga kasi.  And sometimes we add extra ingredients just to make sure that it will tastes good and “swak sa ating panlasa” like fruits.

But in my chicken adobo I didn’t add extra ingredients though I have my own style in preparing it. I will marinade first the chicken to the garlic, lemon, sugar, and soy sauce in 15-20 minutes to make the chicken tastier. And while waiting for that I will now prepare other ingredients that I will be using in cooking it.

I now prepared the garlic and union then skinned the carrots and potatoes and sliced it into cubes. And after that I sautee the garlic and union then add now the marinated chicken and I put also an amount of water to cook the chicken. After a minute put now the soy sauce (you can also used the sauce that you used to marinade the chicken), a small amount of vinegar and sugar then taste it if it’s already suite to your taste.  Oops.! By the way don’t forget to put your vegetable wait until it cooked then serve it now with rice. 

It’s really a good for your meal. And just in case you have leftover adobo, you don’t have to worry because you can still use it as another ingredient for another recipe. Remember the “Chicken Adobo Sandwich” I’d shared with you? Yes, after a perfect meal you can now make sandwich for your snack or breakfast. And it means that there is no waste in your adobo. Sabi nga nila “kung gusto maraming paraan.”

“Canope: Roll it Baby, Roll it”—Friday

            The last sandwich I will share with you guys was the sandwich I learned from a friend of mine. I’d remember when I asked her what sandwich she really like; she answered me “Canope.” CANOPE.?! What’s that.? That was the first time I heard that food so I asked her how to prepare it so I can also try it.

            After she taught me how to make this sandwich I tried it immediately in our home when I got my free time. I done it the way she told me how and I assure you it’s delicious. Actually my cousins and sister approved also this crunchy sandwich.

And this day was the second time I’m gonna make this sandwich. I’m so excited to share this also to you.

We need bread, crispy fry, egg, cheese, hum and bell pepper. If you already prepared all the ingredients you need now to flat the bread using glass bottle or even glass (it’s up to you), put the sliced hum, cheese, and bell pepper diagonally on the flatten bread then roll it. After that dip it into the egg and roll it again in the crispy fry then fry it.

Experience the crispy “canope” with your family or friends. Don’t you try to miss the perfect combination of bell pepper, hum plus the melting cheese. If you taste it, you can’t say a single word, you just want to concentrate and feel the soothing taste of this sandwich.
