Pinakbet and Fish Sinigang

I'll just merge this post into one since it's an overdue post, which was supposed to be weeks ago. I was not able to take better pictures too..

anyway the first dish is pinakbet, which I love to cook and eat :D

How to cook pinakbet

ingredients:
pork
garlic
onion
vegetables (sqaush, okra, string beans, eggplant, ampalaya) you can add more if you want.


I first extract oil from the sliced pork, which also adds flavor.
then take off the pork and saute garlic and onion on the pork's oil.
add pork after, add water and let it boil until pork is tender.

add vegetables, add first those that need time to get tender like squash.
add salt to taste. it's up to you if you want it dry or with stew like what I had.

you can also add soy sauce to add to the taste :)


Next is Fish Sinigang

Ingredients:
Fish cleaned and cut
onion
tomatoes
radish
kangkong
siling haba

boil water in a pot
add onions and tomotoes
add salt
add raddish until tender
add fish
taste according to your preference
add siling haba
add kangkong
simmer for a few minutes
ready to serve :)

Blogging Again..I Hope..

4 years??!!?? can you imagine that? It's been almost 4 years since I updated this blog and I think now is the perfect time to revive it :)

Now that I'm a wife I will be spending more time in the kitchen so this blog is perfect to chronicle, well not every dish though, my challenges in the kitchen. I love cooking and I love to learn new recipes. I've had my first carbonara 2 years ago, which I was not able to document :(

For now I would like to share with you this yummy dish from Davao (I forgot the name of the resto). It is grilled bangus (milk fish) topped with a chili "something" sauce..I forgot again what that yellow orange sauce was. It was so good, too good I can't describe how it really tastes..kind of gata or pinakbet or kare-kare taste..
