Easy Filipino Style Spaghetti Recipe

This Easy Filipino Style Spaghetti Recipe is a Filipino adaptation of Italian spaghetti. It has a sweet sauce, usually made from tomato sauce sweetened with brown sugar or banana ketchup. It is topped with sliced hot dogs, ground meat, and grated cheese. It is regarded as comfort food in Philippine cuisine. It is served on almost any special occasion, especially on children’s birthdays.

Filipino spaghetti is cheap and easy to make, which is part of the reason for its popularity. First, minced garlic and onions are sautéed in oil in a large pan until they caramelize. The ground meat is added and cooked until it is brown. Sliced hot dogs are then added. It can be replaced with other processed meat like smoked longganisa sausages, ham, Vienna sausages, meatballs, luncheon meat, spam, or corned beef. It is cooked for a few more minutes before the tomato sauce mixture is poured into the pan. Some people use store-bought spaghetti sauce as the base for convenience.

Easy Sinangag (Fried Rice) Recipe

Sinangag (Fried rice) is cooked rice stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan. Sinangag is the Filipino word for fried rice.

Easy Sinangag (Fried Rice) Recipe

Sinangag (Fried rice) is cooked rice stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan. Sinangag is the Filipino word for fried rice. It is usually mixed with other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat. It is often eaten by itself or as an accompaniment to another dish. Fried rice is famous in East Asian, Southeast Asian, and South Asian cuisines. As a homemade dish, fried rice is made with ingredients left over from other dishes, leading to countless variations. First developed during the Sui Dynasty in China and all fried rice dishes can trace their origins to Chinese fried rice.

In Sinangag, the rice used is stale, usually leftover cooked rice from the previous day, as it results in fermented and firmer rice. It is garnished with toasted garlic, salt, and black pepper. The rice grains are loose and do not stick together.

Sinangag is rarely eaten on its own but is usually paired with a “dry” meat dish like tocino, longganisa, tapa, or spam. Unlike other types of fried rice, the main ingredient is garlic, so it does not overwhelm the flavor of the main dish. In this sinangag (fried rice) other ingredients are added. The additions are scrambled eggs and cooked meat cut into small pieces. Cashews, cooked green peas and chopped spring onions may be added too! Sinangag is a common part of a traditional Filipino breakfast, and it is usually prepared with leftover rice from the dinner before. It is one of the components of the tapsilog breakfast and its derivatives.

Easy Tinolang Manok (Chicken Ginger Stew) Recipe

Tinolang Manok (Chicken Tinola or Chicken Ginger Stew) is a healthy and delicious Filipino dish. Tinolang Manok can be traced back to the Spanish colonial period. This dish is a very common entrée in  Filipino dining. Chicken, papaya, chili leaves, and spices, are sautéed and boiled until tender.

Tinolang Manok, a classic Filipino dish, is very easy to cook. Start by preparing the ingredients, then sauteeing ginger, onions, garlic, chicken, and papaya. Add water, boil and simmer until the chicken and papaya are tender. Add chili leaves right before the dish cooks.

Sayote can be used instead of Green papaya. Malunggay leaves may be used instead of “dahon ng sili”. Some people combine both leaves too!

This Filipino Chicken Curry Recipe is a variant of Ginataang Manok. In this recipe, the chicken is cooked in coconut milk. Another difference is we have added the curry powder. Vegetables and different spices help build the flavor.

The terms “chicken curry” and “curry chicken” are generally interchangeable. But there is a difference between the two terms in some Asian countries. And that is even though both dishes include curry and chicken. Different variants render their distinct taste and presentation. The flavors of chicken curry are pretty much the same. It is spicy, rich, aromatic, and addictive.

This Filipino Chicken Curry is stewed in coconut milk and curry. It is a good and delicious dish the entire family will cherish. Simple to make and cooks in a single pan!

Ingredients

  • 1 Kilo chicken cut to pieces

  • 2 to 3 pieces of potatoes, quartered

  • 2 to 3 pieces of carrots, cut into pieces

  • 1 big red bell pepper cut into 1″x1″ squares

  • 1 big green bell pepper cut into 1″x1″ squares

  • 2 mid-sized onions, chopped

  • 1 bulb of garlic, minced

  • 1 thumb-sized ginger, pounded then sliced

  • 2 cups coconut milk

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons of curry powder

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder or minced chili (optional)

  • 4 tablespoons cooking oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • In a frying pan or wok, fry the cut chicken until light brown. Next, fry potatoes and carrots, and set them aside.
  • In a saucepan, sauté garlic, onions, and ginger in cooking oil for 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken, coconut milk, curry powder, and chili powder. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add potatoes and carrots and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes or until tender.

  • Use fish sauce (patis) instead of salt when available.
