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.

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.

Dark meat cuts of chicken, when used, make a tastier Tinolang Manok. They add more chicken flavor to the dish. Dark meat comes from the thigh and drumstick (the legs of the bird).

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

Easy Filipino Chicken Curry Recipe

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! It requires only a handful of ingredients and is cooked for 1 hour. The perfect dish for feeding a large crowd!

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.

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.
  • Add red and green bell pepper, salt (about 1 tablespoon), and pepper to taste.

Again, milk the grated coconut milk for the second time using 1 1/2 cups of water. While cooking, use the 2nd milking first, then add the first coconut milk near the end of cooking, just after putting the potatoes and carrots.
  • Use fish sauce (patis) instead of salt when available.

Easy Beef Salpicao Recipe

Beef salpicao is very delicious.  It is salty and sweet with the smell and taste of garlic.

Easy Beef Salpicao Recipe

This easy Beef Salpicao recipe is basically a Filipino dish.  Even with the foreign-sounding name, many will think that this must be Portuguese cuisine introduced during the times when the Philippines was a colony of Spain.  According to the sausage wiki, salpicao is a traditional Portuguese sausage which by the way the dish is not. The Filipino Beef Salpicao is a garlicky stir-fried dish.

Salpicao (Portuguese) is a beef or pork sausage flavored with garlic and paprika.  Salpicado (salpicar), on the other hand, is a Spanish word that means splatter, sprinkle, dabble, or pepper.  Since the dish is splattered with lots of garlic, could salpicao be just a derivative of salpicado?

Beef salpicao is very delicious.  It is salty and sweet with the smell and taste of garlic.  It is as if the flavor was produced by too many spices although salpicao has very few ingredients that are readily available anywhere. It is a quick stir-fry dish with a very simple and uncomplicated cooking process.  It is a perfect main dish but is also good as cocktail food, what we call in the Philippines as “pulutan” (appetizer taken with alcohol, like beer).

As a main dish, Beef Salpicao could be paired with Buttered Corn and Carrots.
