TAPSILOG

Filipino breakfasts will always be my favourite. And who knew how simple they were to make? Tapsilog is no different. A nice overnight marinade, thrown onto the stove in the morning, and fried up with some sunny side up eggs. Always.

STIR-FRIED PEA SHOOTS WITH GARLIC

This has got to be my favourite vegetable dish at dim sum. My stir-fried pea shoots with garlic is surprisingly so easy to make that you’ll have to have dim sum at home one day!

VEGETARIAN TOM KHA

Who doesn’t love a hot and sour soup? Tom kha is probably my favourite version in all of Asia. I made a vegetarian version subbing out the chicken for tofu in this light and spicy dish! Best served rice and and lime - and a lot of it!

MENUDO GINILING

Menudo giniling: Filipino stew with carrots, potatoes, green peas, minced meat, raisins and liver. Don’t knock it til you try it - it was one of my favourites growing up!

ZONGZI

Vegetarian zongzi? Can it really be? Yes, it’s totally doable! Cooked lentils, kimchi, and other fun, fusion ingredients go into these sticky rice dumplings.

POQUI POQUI

In need of a new breakfast idea? Try poqui poqui. It’s a Filipino scrambled egg dish with mashed eggplant and tomato. Lots of aromatics involved here and it’s very delicious with a bowl of garlic rice! Who says you need meat at breakfast time?

KONGNAMUL GUK

Temperatures are beginning to cool down which means I’m starting to re-introduce some warming comfort foods back into my diet. I made kongnamul guk, a kimchi and beansprout soup, in a mere matter of minutes - no lie!

CALLOS

I’ve finally took the chance and made my dad’s recipe for callos, the Spanish-Filipino dish consisting of tripe, pork hock, chick peas and chorizo in a tomato sauce. Total comfort food.

BINAGOONGAN

Binagoongan is such a classic Filipino dish. Fermented shrimp paste, a little heat, and a lot of rice to go with it.

NO MI FAN

Ahhhhhh, my sticky rice dreams have come true. I have successfully made no mi fan, aka Chinese sticky rice from scratch. And I think I have eaten 1/3 of the pot. Oops.
