Pancake Sandwiches

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it will provide you the energy that you need to do your activities throughout the day. But even if this meal is important to start our day right, we take it for granted. We usually skip this meal. and that's not good. According to some studies, skipping breakfasts will make you gain weight. So to avoid this, you should make your breakfast meals interesting.

I admit, sometimes, I don't eat take my breakfast, too. I find my meals boring and always repeating. Like for example, I was always served with the traditional bread of the Filipinos which is called Pandesal, paired with egg and coffee. Sometimes, I eat fried rice but cooking it will take me a lot of time. So I searched for tips and tricks on how I can innovate my meal, making it interesting.

I love pancakes. They are easy to make and delicious. But eating them like the usual is quite boring. So, I made an experiment recipe using them. well, instead of just plain bread and eggs, I substituted the bread with pancakes. Quite different, huh? I tell you, it really is good! And guess what, I am going to share you my recipe. So let's get down with the details!

No-Bake Soft Chew Brownies

Chocolates. One of my guilty pleasures. They are irresistible, aren't they? And when I got time to bake, I make sure that chocolates are my star ingredient.

I started baking when I was still in high school. I learned about the basics when my school back then introduced the Electives subject, and I get to pick Culinary class as my subject. And since I am a self-confessed foodie, I was able to learn it that quick.

Anyways, I am doing baking in a different way. Since many easy-to-do baked goodies mixes are already out in the market, I always look for alternative ways of baking goods, perfect for those who are, I might say, lack of equipment and ingredients.

When we say baking, this includes cooking foods with an oven. But who would have thought that you can do baking with the use of steaming process. Well, you will be surprised that you actually can! And i will show you how. J

This is my own recipe of brownies, and take note, no OVEN-USE,  just the power of steaming. What is nice about this recipe is, it leaves the brownies gooey and moist. Almost like a cake already. This is easy to prepare, you can have this treat any time of the day! J

 So let's get started!

Filipino Classic: Sinigang sa Miso (Tamarind Soup in Miso)

Aside from Adobo being a very popular Filipino dish, Sinigang (Tamarind Soup) shares the spotlight. This dish is originally tamarind-based, but other versions may include using guava, calamansi or unripe mangoes to derive its sourness. Tamarind-based seasoning powders are also used as alternatives for natural fruits.

 Meats used for Sinigang are usually pork, beef, fish, and shrimp. Vegetables commonly used for this dish are okra, taro, radish, water spinach, eggplants, and string beans. Sometimes, green finger peppers are added to enhance its flavor, while adding a touch of spice. Sinigang is best served when hot, and during cold weather.

 With this version of Sinigang, I'll be featuring fish as the main ingredient. I'll be using Tilapia for this. A twist with this version is that it is incorporated with miso.

 Here's my own recipe of this Sinigang version.

 Ingredients:

  • 1 pc Tilapia, scaled and cleaned
  • 1 pc Onion, sliced
  • 1 stalk Mustard Greens
  • 2 pcs Tomatoes
  • 1 pack Tamarind Soup Mix (you can use fresh tamarinds, just boil them to release its oils then incorporate it with the dish)
  • Water
  • Miso Paste
  • Cooking Oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green Chili Finger
Procedures:
  1. Saute together in oil onion and tomatoes. Add in the miso.
  2. Add water and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the tamarind mix, after which, put in the fish. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Before turning off the stove fire, add the chili and the mustard greens to avoid wilting it.
  4. Serve with rice.
Here is the finish product of my recipe. :)




Feel free to try this, too. :)
Happy cooking! :)

ADOBO. Delicious, isn't it? It is like the most popular dish in the Philippines. Every cook has its own version of it. And every version will take you to another level of great taste and food experience.

 Adobo is a general term for a process wherein you marinate your choice of meat, whether it's pork, beef or chicken, and sometimes seafood, in a sauce comprises of different spices such as paprika, oregano with garlic, soy sauce and vinegar for flavors to blast out.

 The Philippine Adobo is somehow influenced by the Spanish colonization. However, the techniques in cooking are indigenous, only the name is Spanish-origin. Adobo is known to have a long shelf life, because of vinegar as one of its ingredient, therefore making it as one of the most cooked dish. There are a lot versions that you can choose from.
